“The Christian idea of marriage is based on Christ’s words that a man and wife are to be regarded as a single organism–He was not expressing a sentiment but stating a fact, just as one if stating a fact when one says that a lock and its key are one mechanism, or that a violin and a bow are one musical instrument. The inventor of the human machine was telling us that its two halves, the male and the female, were made to be combined together in pairs, not simply on the sexual level, but totally combined.”
C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
