How do we know that marriage was ordained by God?

Answered in 1 source

Marriage was ordained by God as seen from the creation account in Genesis, where God institutes the covenant of marriage.

The ordination of marriage by God is foundational to the biblical understanding of this institution. In Genesis 2:18-24, God declares that it is not good for man to be alone and creates a woman to be a complement to him. This sets forth the divine design and purpose for marriage, which is not merely a human arrangement but is established by God's will. Throughout Scripture, we see God reinforcing the sanctity of marriage, as it is highlighted in various contexts, including the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, confirming its intended role within creation and spiritual life.
