Mark 10:7-9 (NCV)

⁷ 'So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, ⁸ and the two will become one body.' So there are not two, but one. ⁹ God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them."

Psalm 145:3-6 (NCV)

³ The Lord is great and worthy of our praise;
no one can understand how great he is.
⁴ Parents will tell their children what you have done.
They will retell your mighty acts,
⁵ wonderful majesty, and glory.
And I will think about your miracles.
⁶ They will tell about the amazing things you do,
and I will tell how great you are.
