What Early Church Father taught that marriage is between a man and a woman?

Origen reinforced the biblical rule that marriage is between a man and a woman:
I quote from this website which quotes Origen: https://www.copticchurch.net/patrology/schoolofalex2/chapter19.html
"Since God has joined them together (a man and a woman in marriage), for this reason there is a gift for those joined together by God. Paul knowing this declares that equally with the purity of the holy celibacy is marriage according to the Word of God a gift, saying, "But I would that all men were like myself; howbeit, each man has his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that" (1 Cor. 7:7). Those who are joined together by God obey in thought and deed the command "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also the Church" Eph 5:25."
