Marriage
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Divorce
A man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate
