In the elaboration of Genesis 1:26-28 in Genesis 2, we see that God first created only one man and one woman. Jesus cited both Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 to teach about Marriage and divorce (Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10: 2-12).
This is the first passage showing that God ordained marriage as a man and a woman. Since much of the church has abandoned this historical foundation, is it any wonder that marriage is under severe attack in the western world?

Thanks for the good quote, Chris. Society has drifted so far from Biblical and biological truth. What a mess.
You’re welcome, Tom, and thank you for the reply. Back when I was growing up most of the neighborhood kids had a mom and a dad. Things have changed so dramatically in a very short time. I admire single parents who have ended up in their situation by no fault of their own but that is a small percent of people living in “arrangements” that don’t line up with God’s original intention. Mess is a good word for so many of the situations people are living in today.
I’m grateful for him

You’re welcome, Eternity. I appreciate anyone who is trying to share the Word of God in this day and age when many don’t think of eternal things.
God’s blessings…
Thank you. You are very kind.
