3. Why God Made Marriage (Genesis 2:18-25)
Today far fewer people are getting married in Western countries than just fifty years ago. Some want to be married and aren't, but others have dismissed marriage as an outdated tradition we no longer need. In the face of so much skepticism about marriage, why does the Bible see marriage as such a good thing? This talk seeks to answer that question by going back to the very first marriage in human history, where we see why God invented marriage in the first place.
Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this talk include Genesis 1:28; 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 7:2; and Ephesians 5:31-32.
