The LORD God said it was not good for Adam to be alone, so he caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and took one of his ribs to create Eve. When Adam awoke, he recognized that Eve was bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh. For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh. Throughout many passages, the document discusses the relationship between husbands and wives, including husbands loving their wives as Christ loved the church, wives submitting to their husbands, and marriage being honored by all.
