When the Pharisees try to stump Jesus with the question, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?", he begins his response by reminding them of creation. Since the very beginning, God made man and woman. It was his plan from the very beginning and we all know that when God has a plan, it… is… good. So Jesus says, the plan is for a man to leave his mom and dad and marry his wife. The bible says, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. When you get married you make a promise to God and those around you to love honor and cherish your spouse and the Bible also says, “What God has joined together, let not man separate.” Even though things may try to tear you apart and may even cause you to argue, if you place God at the center of your marriage, nothing can come between you. Marriage is a gift from God. It gives us a really clear picture of His love for us. Just like man has to leave his mom and dad to marry his wife, Jesus left his father in heaven to come down to earth to save us. He is the reason we can even know true love.
