From the beginning, the Bible presents marriage as a sacred covenant. In Genesis 2 verse 24, it says, Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.Pexels This foundational verse reveals God's design of unity, permanence, and intimacy between husband and wife. Divorce, though permitted later due to human sin, was not God's original intent. Jesus emphasizes this in Matthew 19 verse 4-6
