<p><em>Matthew 19:4-6</em> clearly points to the marriage union through God. These verses state that when a couple gets married, they become one flesh and therefore should not separate. Marriage was designed by God for a man and a woman to become one and be united forever.</p>
<p><strong>Understanding marriage according to God</strong></p>
<p>When <em>God</em> created <em>Adam and Eve</em>, He created them to complement each other. In <em>Genesis 2:18</em>, <em>God</em> says, <em>&ldquo;The Lord God said, &ldquo;It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.&rdquo;&rdquo;</em> Thus, God instituted marriage and designed a couple to be one flesh. When a man and a woman come together, they become one flesh, united by God.</p>
<p><strong>The importance of maintaining marriage</strong></p>
<p>It is important that a marriage remain whole, as God intended. When a couple gets married, they commit to being together and supporting each other for life. In this process, love, respect and loyalty play a vital role. Spouses should strive to become the best version of themselves for the sake of the well-being of their marriage and family.</p>
