George Leo Haydock, on Gen 2:24

“Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.”

“One flesh, connected by the closest ties of union, producing children, the blood of both. St. Paul, Ephesians v. 23, discloses to us the mystery of Christ’s union with his church for ever, prefigured by this indissoluble marriage of our first parents. (Calmet)”
