To what does "one flesh" refer?

Mark 10:8 (ESV)

8 and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh.

This “being one flesh” refers not only to the physical oneness within marriage, but also to the total oneness of two persons in the covenant of marriage that makes them “one person.”1
