For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
&c.] These words contain the law of marriage, and are cited from ( Genesis 2:24 ) ; and declare what ought to be, and are a prophecy of what should be; and are observed against polygamy, and to stir up mutual affection; (See Gill on Matthew 19:5).

Efesios 5:31 In-Context

29 pues nadie ha odiado jamás a su propio cuerpo; al contrario, lo alimenta y lo cuida, así como Cristo hace con la iglesia,
30 porque somos miembros de su cuerpo.
31 «Por eso dejará el hombre a su padre y a su madre, y se unirá a su esposa, y los dos llegarán a ser un solo cuerpo».
32 Esto es un misterio profundo; yo me refiero a Cristo y a la iglesia.
33 En todo caso, cada uno de ustedes ame también a su esposa como a sí mismo, y que la esposa respete a su esposo.
