It Is Written

The first marriage ceremony performed by the creator and definer of marriage:

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,

“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man.”

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. ~Genesis 2:18-25

Laws cannot recreate reality, nor can they create a new truth. Truth does not flex and bend with majority opinions. Fifty-five percent of the people in America can say that the sun is the moon and the oceans are the deserts, and that only means those who say these things are crazy, ignorant, or obstinate.Their mislabeling says everything about them and nothing about the reality of which they speak. And so it is true of marriage. The apostle Paul says that those who would attempt to redefine what the Creator has clearly defined are futile in their thinking and darkened in their hearts. Believing themselves to be wise, they are fools. Sadly, such is the situation in America today.
