How do we know God's design for marriage?

Answered in 1 source

God's design for marriage is clearly stated in Scripture, emphasizing the union of one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-9).

God's design for marriage is foundationally established in Genesis 2:24, where it states that a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. This primordial definition of marriage illustrates the intimate and inseparable nature of the marital bond as a divine institution created by God, not by human invention. Jesus reiterates this in Mark 10, emphasizing that what God has joined together, man should not sever. This understanding affirms that marriage is not only a social contract but a spiritual covenant meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church, thus underlining its importance in God's redemptive plan.
