Ephesians 5:29-32 English Standard Version (ESV)

29. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,

30. because we are members of his body.

31. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

32. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
