How did God create marriage according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God created marriage as a divine institution, establishing it to be a union between one man and one woman.

According to Genesis 2:18-24, God instituted marriage as a divine union when He created Eve from Adam's rib. This act illustrates the intentionality of God in forming a companion suitable for Adam, thus establishing the first human relationship centered on partnership and mutual support. When Adam recognized Eve as 'bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,' he underscored the truth that marriage is meant to reflect the intimate and covenantal relationship that exists between Christ and His church. This foundational truth carries significance throughout Scripture, affirming that marriage is sacred and intended to embody loyalty, love, and commitment.
