Marriage in the Bible

 

            The Bible refers to marriage many times throughout itself, whether it is direct or indirect. No government subcommittee envisioned it. No social organization developed it.

Marriage is considered to be a concession to lust, which means that it is an escape from going to hell from sexual activity because there is true love (Reference 2).
