The Bible teaches that God ordained marriage for the good of mankind, stating that it's not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18).
According to scripture, particularly in Mark 10:6-9, God established marriage as a divine institution for the benefit and well-being of humanity. The first wedding was performed by God Himself in the Garden of Eden, illustrating His intention for marriage to be a source of companionship, love, and support. God intended marriage to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church, demonstrating commitment, sacrifice, and unconditional love. A marriage rooted in these principles not only benefits the individuals but strengthens familial and societal structures as well.
