Genesis 2:24 is God’s institution for marriage. Just as it was God who created woman out of man’s rib, it is also God who establishes marriage. He creates a bond that is unbreakable. He says they will become “one flesh,” meaning it is not within man’s power to destroy marriage or take it lightly. When a bride and groom are standing on their wedding day, it’s not about their being on display – it’s about God. God is the one who joins a husband and wife into one union. The world doesn’t know this, which is one of the reasons marriage is treated so casually. Only by walking in a God-honoring marriage will you be able to experience the fullness of marriage the way that God intended.
