How do we know God wants marriage to last?

Answered in 1 source

God's plan for marriage is a lifelong commitment, emphasized in scripture where He commands faithfulness and unity (Matthew 19:6).

The Bible illustrates God's intention for marriage as a lifelong covenant, established from the beginning of creation. In Matthew 19:6, Jesus states that what God has joined together, let not man separate, reinforcing the idea that marriage is a divine institution meant to endure. Furthermore, in the teachings of Paul, particularly in 1 Corinthians 7, the emphasis on commitment and the sanctity of marriage highlights God's desire for spouses to uphold their vows, work through difficulties, and foster unity that mirrors Christ's unwavering commitment to His church. This divine perspective underlines that marriage is not just a social contract but a reflection of God's faithfulness to His people.
