God's Reasons for Marriage
Jesus was asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?" He responded by describing what God had in mind for marriage in the first place:
Marriage is for procreation. Jesus said, "He who created man, created man as male and female." God said to Adam and Eve, "Be fruitful and multiply."
Marriage is also for companionship. After God created Adam, He said, "It is not good for man to be alone." So He created Eve, the perfect companion.
Marriage is also for sexual pleasure. As the story continues, Jesus quotes God's Words on the first marriage: "and he shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh." Sex is not just for procreation. It's God's gift to a husband and wife, to enjoy in the context of marriage to the fullest.
Procreation, companionship, sexual pleasure--reminders from Jesus about why God had the idea of marriage.
