How do we know that marriage is a divine institution?

Answered in 1 source

Marriage is a divine institution because it was ordained by God Himself at creation, signifying its profound significance.

We know marriage is a divine institution because it was established by God during Creation, as detailed in Genesis 2:22-24, where God formed woman and brought her to man. This act was not mediated by humans or angels but was a direct decree from God, emphasizing the sanctity and honor inherent in the marriage covenant. This is further evidenced by Christ's acknowledgment of marriage in the New Testament (Matthew 19:4-6), affirming its divine origin and purpose. Such Biblical teaching underscores the importance of seeking God’s blessing in marriage, as it reflects the unity and love intended by the Creator between spouses.
