“Indeed, legally creating a union does not enable two men or two women to become “one flesh,” nor does a legal ceremony give the union sanctity.”
Thought this was the most convincing statement made. The concept of “one flesh” is refering to children from marriage. It is probably the most enriching phenomena associated with marriage - that a loving couple joins together to make “one flesh”. I am always struck by the beauty, intelligence, joy and love everytime I look upon my son. My wife and I will exchange glances and we are both thinking the same thing, how grateful this gift of One Flesh. I am sorry that some are unable to reach this place. There is only one path to this place and it is marriage between a man and a woman. The writer is correct, all else is imitation or counterfit. Not trying to be mean and non-inclusive, just recognizing the obvious that one flesh is the union of a man and a woman.

What do you do with children that *don't* come from "one flesh" families?
