Genesis 2:18, 21-22“And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.”

Genesis 2:23-24“And Adam said:

‘This is now bone of my bones

And flesh of my flesh;She shall be called Woman,Because she was taken out of Man.’

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

John 19:33-34“But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.”

Ephesians 5:25-26“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word”

Ephesians 5:27-28“that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.”

Ephesians 5:29-30“For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.”

Ephesians 5:31-32“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
