I have heard a saying/poem that starts out something like'when a man leaves his parent's home and they become one'. I have searched but have not come up with it. Has anyone heard of this and know the rest??

Re: looking for this saying
The only one I know of is from the Creation of Woman in the Book of Genesis 2:24
'That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.'
This is our first reading.

Re: looking for this saying
There is a very beautiful song called 'The Wedding Song' that has very similiar words to what you posted...
He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts Rest assured this troubador is acting on his part. The union of your spirits, here, has caused him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name There is love. there is love.
A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one. As it was in the beginning is now and til the end Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again. And there is love. there is love.
Well then what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife? Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life? And if loving is the answer, then who’s the giving for? Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before? Oh there’s love, there is love.
Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name There is love. there is love.
