“Marriage is not a human invention;
it is a divine revelation.
Its design never was our own made-up
arrangement of infinite malleability.
It was given to us, at the beginning of all things,
as a brightly shining fixity of eternal significance.
We might not always live up to its true grandeur.
None of us does so perfectly.
But we have no right to redefine it,
and we have every reason to revere it.”
Ray Ortlund Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel

“Have you not read that the One who made them
at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one’?
So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
let no one separate.”
Jesus in Gospel of Matthew Chapter 19
