Bible Verses About Marriage
Mark 10:6-9 · Berean Standard Bible
When Jesus was asked about marriage, he went back to the beginning: God made them male and female, and the two become one flesh. Mark 10:6-9 ends with the words spoken at countless weddings, what God has joined together, let no one separate. This passage grounds marriage as a covenant God himself creates and holds together.
6However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Read the wider context: Mark 10.
