"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Vs 26-27
Marriage is for Descendants of God.
"Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it..." Vs 28
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14
Marriage is for the Domain of God.
"...subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Vs 28
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" 1 Cor 6:1-3
