of the apartments of your heart he wrote you this commandment but from the beginning of creation god made them male and female for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shut become one flesh so they are no longer two good one flesh therefore what god is joined together no human being must separate in the house the disciples again question jesus
