Here are the Scripture references.

Genesis 2:23-24 (ESV)
23  Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
24  Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Matthew 19:1-30 (ESV)
1  Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2  And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3  And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"
4  He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5  and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
7  They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"
8  He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9  And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
10  The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."
11  But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
12  For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it."
13  Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people,
14  but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
15  And he laid his hands on them and went away.
16  And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?"
17  And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."
18  He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19  Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
20  The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?"
21  Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22  When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23  And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24  Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
25  When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26  But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27  Then Peter said in reply, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"
28  Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29  And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
30  But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Mark 10:2-12 (ESV)
2  And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
3  He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"
4  They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away."
5  And Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
6  But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.'
7  'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,
8  and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.
9  What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
10  And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.
11  And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her,
12  and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Romans 7:2-3 (ESV)
2  For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.
3  Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

1 Corinthians 7:39 (ESV)
39  A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
