What Is Marriage?

God talks about marriage and what He expects from marriage in Malachi 2:14-15.

"The LORD witnessed the vows you and your wife made to each other on your wedding day when you were young. But you have been disloyal to her, though she remained your faithful companion. Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does He want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth."

Homosexual marriage does not fit into this picture of marriage at all. It is a picture of one man, one woman, remaining loyal to each other and doing what God wants... making Godly children.

Marriage is also a picture of God's relationship with Israel, and a picture of God's relationship with His church. In every case we are to reproduce... the church is to be involved in evangelism, leading people to Christ so that they become children of God.
