Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. --- Genesis 2:24 God gave marriage as a gift to Adam and Eve. They were created perfect for each other. Marriage was not just for convenience, nor was it brought about by any culture. It was instituted by God and has three basic aspects: (1) The man leaves his parents and , in a public act, promises himself to his wife; (2) the man and woman are joined together by taking responsibility for each others welfare and by loving the mate above all others; (3) the two are united into one in the intimacy and commitment of sexual union that is reserved for marriages include all three of these aspects.
