What Does Mark 10:8 Mean?
Jesus finishes the Genesis quotation and then underlines its arithmetic with his own words: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. The union of husband and wife is the deepest human joining Scripture names.
One flesh is more than shared space; it is a real union of life, body, and purpose. In God's sight the married pair are a single living thing, which is why tearing them apart wounds so deeply. The math of marriage is God's own: two given, one made.
