How do we know marriage is ordained by God?

Answered in 1 source

We know marriage is ordained by God because it is established in Scripture as a divine institution, specifically in Genesis 2:24.

The divine establishment of marriage is clearly outlined in Scripture. In Genesis 2:24, God initiates the first marriage, stating, 'Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.' This declaration signifies God's intent for marriage to be a sacred union, highlighting its divine origin. Additionally, throughout Scripture, marriage is referenced as a covenant, emphasizing the gravity and sanctity of the relationship. God provides guidance on the roles and responsibilities within marriage, further affirming its significance in His design for humanity. Therefore, the biblical foundation confirms that marriage is not a mere social contract but a holy institution ordained by God.
