How do we know the importance of marriage according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Marriage is central to God's creation narrative and serves as a reflection of the relationship between Christ and the Church.

The importance of marriage is underscored in the Genesis creation account where God declares that it is not good for man to be alone. This establishes marriage as both a divine institution and a vital aspect of human relationships. In Ephesians 5, Paul connects the roles within marriage to the relationship between Christ and His Church, illustrating that marriage reflects God's covenant love. This demonstrates that marriage is rooted in God's purpose and design, serving not only for companionship but also for the display of divine grace and fidelity.
Scripture References: Genesis 2:18, Ephesians 5:25-32
