How do we know God's design for marriage is true?

Answered in 2 sources

God's design for marriage is affirmed through Scripture, where it is presented as a divine institution reflecting Christ's love for the church.

The truth of God's design for marriage is firmly rooted in Scripture. Ephesians 5 illustrates this by comparing the marriage relationship to that between Christ and His church. The husband's role as the head and the wife's role in submission are not merely cultural constructs but are part of God's divine order as established in creation. Furthermore, passages such as Genesis 2:24 affirm the fundamental nature of marriage as a union where two become one flesh, reinforcing its sanctity. God's ongoing intent for marriage is evidenced through the principles laid out in Scripture, reinforcing that this divine institution should reflect the harmony of Christ's love and commitment.
