Two as One

Mark 10:5-12

For the hardness of heart that God wrote,
A commandment He has given unto you;
From the beginning of creation to note,
God gave a treasure to man with value.

Male and female in marriage be united,
Now as one rather than a separated pair;
To be of one flesh as God is delighted,
No longer two lives rather one to share.

For a man leaves his father and mother,
And to be joined together unto his wife;
As they are to become part of no other,
Rather living together with only one life.

Whatever has been joined in God's eyes,
Shall also be beating from a single heart;
Living as one to remain healthy and wise,
And no one put asunder never to depart.

It pleases God to be remaining matched,
But displeasure lurks involving a divorce;
Involving another to become reattached,
And God considers it as adultery of course.
