became one flesh
United in marriage
Became one flesh is a biblical phrase describing the union of marriage, where two people join into a single entity—spiritually, emotionally, and sexually.
The expression originates in Genesis and appears in wedding ceremonies: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
It emphasizes that marriage creates an indivisible bond, not merely a legal arrangement.
