God's Divine Plan for Marriage
Commentators agree that this verse is more than a historical observation; it is a foundational, divine law for marriage. While they debate whether the words are from Adam, Moses, or God directly, they concur on their divine authority. Jesus himself affirmed this in Matthew 19:5, quoting the verse as spoken by God, thereby establishing marriage as a sacred institution, not merely a human contract.
