What Is God's View on Marriage?Sample

God ordained marriage
The first chapters of the Bible record how God created the heavens and the earth, including plants, animals and finally humans. He did not just create a man, Adam, but also “a helper fit for him." God made a woman from the man’s rib, and brought her to Adam to be his wife. Adam and Eve were not just created as two separate individuals, but as the first human couple.
Marriage, thus, is not just a social institution that developed over time in various cultures. On the contrary, it has been ordained by God, right from the beginning. This makes marriage universal. It is not optional, but should be a cornerstone of every society (which does not mean that every individual should marry — more about that later). Marriage is good in God’s eyes.
The Bible also records many examples of marriages that did not meet God’s standards at all. You probably know such situations as well. Since humans have become sinful and imperfect, their marriages are damaged, too. This makes it all the more important to carefully listen to what God has to say about marriage and how He intended it to be. Do read with us over the next few days!
