In the earthly realm, marriage is a contract that parties enter to give legal sanctity to a relationship. But the Bible views marriage as a holy union and a covenant destined to last for life. It is the Lord's idea to bring two different individuals to sign a pact and, gladly obey His command to abide by it until death. The holy union of marriage is His doing, a divine gift from the Sovereign Lord's throne, hence it is honourable, holy, perfect and non-negotiable!
In the Garden of Eden, the Creator God solemnized the first wedding of Adam, the first man, with Eve. Adam honoured God and his marriage by considering....? Hmmm...not just by considering, but by declaring Eve as his own-- "my bone of bones and flesh of flesh"
(Missing text) It is a subject that ought not to be casually or unintentionally pursued. Not because we might hurt mere humans by siding on or sliding off. But because we must be careful of finding ourselves standing against the Lord's grand vision about Marriage. The Sovereign Lord must play the central role and subjection to His Will in humble servitude is a duty expected of the created irrespective of who they are(both the men and women).
What can we do?
We have to be careful, at every phase, and keep a check on whether the commands from the throne are absorbed well and followed. Otherwise, we might end up thinking too highly of ourselves that we see God seated on a footstool, and us on the throne, (according to our own-convenience perspective). Just like the fallen angels, we be regarded as fallen humans.
At the same time, using God as a pawn for our personal earthly vendetta is equally dangerous. As it is written, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
