Faith Q&A › Youth Concerns › Relationships and Marriage

In the Bible, what is the meaning of the married couple being referred to as, “the two will become one” (Matt.19:5)?

The answer

In Christianity, marriage results in the couple becoming one in many aspects : physically, through the union of their bodies, spiritually, mentally, and psychologically. And it is this oneness which the Lord refers to.
