How do we know that God values marriage?

Answered in 1 source

God's design for marriage and His direct involvement in its establishment show that He values it highly.

God's high view of marriage is illustrated throughout Scripture, starting with His creation of it in Genesis. He establishes the institution as a foundational part of human relationships, declaring it 'very good' after creating Eve as a companion for Adam. In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul draws parallels between the husband-wife relationship and Christ-Church dynamics, emphasizing that marriage is sacred and meant to honor God. The commands for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and for wives to submit to their husbands out of reverence for Christ further demonstrate the importance God places on this covenant relationship.
