Why Is Marriage Defined As Only Between a Man and Woman?

Audio By Carbonatix

Marriage was defined by God, in the very beginning, as one man, one wife, joined together, unity, indivisibility, and that union that takes place. And actually, just the whole complementarity that we are two parts of an integrated whole is really even just marked on our bodies as male and female, really. The pieces fit. It's like God created us that way. And it's not like God, it's not unimportant, it's very critical, and it's very foundational to who we are. And it's very foundational to the message that God wanted to get across. He started history with a man and a woman in a marriage because he wanted to communicate important cosmic, spiritual truths about who He is, and also about Christ's relationship to the church. And He imprinted that on our bodies and our relationship as male and female and marriage, right at the very beginning of time.
