How do we know that marriage is a lifelong commitment?

Answered in 1 source

Marriage is a lifelong commitment as instituted by God, as depicted in Genesis where it signifies a permanent bond between husband and wife.

The concept of marriage as a lifelong commitment is deeply rooted in Scripture. In Genesis 2:24, the creation ordinance states that a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. This illustration of oneness represents a sacred union meant to withstand the trials of life. Jesus reinforced this truth in Matthew 19:6, stating that what God has joined together, let not man separate. This emphasis shows that the commitment of marriage is not merely a social contract but a divine ordinance, reflecting God's design for human relationships that are meant to flourish over a lifetime.
