Our culture believes marriage is just a government or social institution. Since they believe life and mankind evolved, well, marriage must’ve too. And if this story is true, why not evolve what marriage means as society changes?

But Genesis gives us the true history of marriage. God created Adam and brought Eve to him to be his wife—the first marriage. The “very good” pattern for marriage that God designed and reaffirmed throughout Scripture is one man for one woman for life.

No one has the authority to change what God has created! Not the government, society, or the Supreme Court. Marriage is God’s invention!
