SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:31
Por esto dejar el hombre al padre y a la madre, y se allegar a su mujer, y sern dos en una carne.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ephesians 5:31
Verse 31. Shall be joined unto his wife] proskollhqhsetai? He shall be glued or cemented to her; and, as a well-glued board will sooner break in the whole wood than in the glued joint, so death alone can part the husband and wife; and nothing but death should dissolve their affection. See the notes on Gen. ii. 21-24.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother , &c.] These words contain the law of marriage, and are cited from ( Genesis 2:24); and declare what ought to be, and are a prophecy of what should be; and are observed against polygamy, and to stir up mutual affection; (see Gill on Matthew 19:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-33 - The duty of wives is, submission to their husbands in the Lord, whic includes honouring and obeying them, from a principle of love to them The duty of husbands is to love their wives. The love of Christ to the church is an example, which is sincere, pure, and constant notwithstanding her failures. Christ gave himself for the church, tha he might sanctify it in this world, and glorify it in the next, that he might bestow on all his members a principle of holiness, and delive them from the guilt, the pollution, and the dominion of sin, by thos influences of the Holy Spirit, of which baptismal water was the outwar sign. The church and believers will not be without spot or wrinkle til they come to glory. But those only who are sanctified now, shall be glorified hereafter. The words of Adam, mentioned by the apostle, ar spoken literally of marriage; but they have also a hidden sense in them, relating to the union between Christ and his church. It was kind of type, as having resemblance. There will be failures and defect on both sides, in the present state of human nature, yet this does no alter the relation. All the duties of marriage are included in unit and love. And while we adore and rejoice in the condescending love of Christ, let husbands and wives learn hence their duties to each other Thus the worst evils would be prevented, and many painful effects woul be avoided __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
31. Shall be joined (proskollhqhsetai). Only here; and Mark x. 7.
See on Luke xv. 15. The compound verb denotes most intimate union.
Shall be one flesh (esontai eiv sarka mian). The A.V. overlooks the force of eijv unto. Lit., shall be unto one flesh. Rev., shall become.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:31 {For this cause} (anti toutou). "Answering to this " = heneken toutou of #Ge 2:24, in the sense of anti seen in anq' hwn (#Lu 12:3). this whole verse is a practical quotation and application of the language to Paul's argument here. In #Mt 19:5 Jesus quotes #Ge 2:24. It seems absurd to make Paul mean Christ here by anqrwpos (man) as some commentators do.
