Kabbalah for Genesis 2:24
עַל־כֵּן֙ יַֽעֲזָב־אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־אָבִ֖יו וְאֶת־אִמּ֑וֹ וְדָבַ֣ק בְּאִשְׁתּ֔וֹ וְהָי֖וּ לְבָשָׂ֥ר אֶחָֽד׃
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Reshit Chokhmah
Also regarding the punishment for not fulfilling it, it says in the Tikkunei Zohar regarding the delight of Shabbat (24th Tikkun): 9. One needs to maintain ON SHABBAT a delight, FOR BY THE DELIGHT ONE HAS ON SHABBAT HE DRAWS THE ILLUMINATION OF YESOD UPON MALCHUT. FOR IT IS KNOWN THAT THE PLEASURE OF THE BODY IS BESTOWED FROM YESOD, the Righteous, who comes from Eden, Binah, THE SECRET OF the World to Come, to water the garden, the lower Shechinah, MALCHUT. The river is Vav, YESOD, that comes from Yud-Hei, CHOCHMAH AND BINAH. It flows five hundred years, which are the five Sfirot, EACH INCLUDING A HUNDRED, and reaches the Righteous, YESOD, to water from it the garden, which is Hei, MALCHUT, AS WRITTEN, “That is why a man,” ZEIR ANPIN, VAV, “leaves his father,” CHOCHMAH, YUD, “and his mother,” BINAH, FIRST HEI, “and cleaves to his wife,” MALCHUT, LAST HEI. (Beresheet 2:24).
