and be joined to his wife ;
and the two will become one flesh ?

because of your hard hearts ,
let you put away your wives :

Matthew:19:9 @
And I say to you ,
Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue ,
and takes another ,
is a false husband :
and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away ,
is no true husband to her .

Not all men are able to take in this saying ,
but only those to whom it is given .

For there are men who ,
from birth ,
were without sex :
and there are some who were made so by men :
and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven .
He who is able to take it ,
let him take it .
