I. Marriage in God’s Plan

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1605
Holy Scripture affirms that man and woman were created for one another:
“It is not good that the man should be alone.”⁹² The woman,
“flesh of his flesh,” i.e., his counterpart, his equal, his nearest
in all things, is given to him by God as a “helpmate”; she thus
represents God from whom comes our help.⁹³ “Therefore a man leaves
his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one
flesh.”⁹⁴ The Lord himself shows that this signifies an
unbreakable union of their two lives by recalling what the plan of the Creator
had been “in the beginning”: “So they are no longer two, but one
flesh.”⁹⁵
