The Meaning of Marriage - A Christian Perspective

We did have a vigorous discussion on "polygamy". [For me "did",
even though it might continue, but I am saying goodbye now with
this article as my final message on the issue.]

Instead of always saying what Christians do NOT believe or practice,
I want to make a positive statement on what we do believe and
recognize as the revealed will of God.

God does reveal His will, character, and intentions not only
in direct commands, but also by the way He acts in creation
and history, as well as through the form and even "literary style"
His revelation is expressed. In order to understand the meaning and
purpose of our being, it is most important to look at the account of
creation. That is when our maker gave the paradigm for our living.

We read in Genesis 1 [the very first chapter of the Bible]:

25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds,
the livestock according to their kinds,
and all the creatures that move along the ground
according to their kinds.
And God saw that it was good.
