Does the scriptural verse, Matt 19:5-7 apply to men exclusively when discerning marriage or does it apply to women as well?

"And said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh’? “So they are no long two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

It occurs multiple times throughout the bible, and I realize that here, Christ might be focusing slightly more on the divorce subject. But is the initial verse exclusive to men discerning marriage or can it/should it apply to women in marriage discernment as well?
 
He says the TWO shall be one flesh which to me suggests they are both going through the same process, he just used a man in his example. So yes, I do believe this is absolutely true of both men and women.
