‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
Mark 10:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 10.

4 They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
