The principles governing marriage are epitomized in God's statement regarding it: "a man (shall) leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2:24).
Mambo yanayotawala ndoa yamewekwa kwa ufupi katika taarifa ya Mungu kwa habari zake: "Mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake, naye ataambatana na mkewe: "nao watakuwa mwili mmoja" (Mwz 2:24).
