Bible Question (short): What constitutes marriage? |
Question (full): What really is marriage from the perspective of God? Is it simply the slip of paper that registers your new last name with the state that you live in? Or is it more than just a peic eof paper? Is it the commitment to one another that you are one in Christ, regardless of whether or not ther eis a paper on file in the county courthouse saying you got dressed up one day and changed your last name through a ten minute long symbolic ceremony? I really am hoping someone will be able to answer my question with some biblical refrences, because this is an issue that is really on my heart. |
