What does the Bible say about the permanence of marriage?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant, illustrating God's unbreakable promise to His people.

In Scripture, marriage is meant to be a permanent union, emphasizing the lifelong commitment expected from both partners. The covenant of marriage reflects God’s faithfulness to His elect; just as God is unwavering in His covenant love, husbands and wives are called to honor their vows as a testament to that divine loyalty. Malachi 2:14 states that God witnesses the covenant of marriage, underscoring its significance and the divine expectation that spouses remain faithful to one another for life. Divorce, therefore, is viewed with gravity as it contradicts the permanence established by God.
