This is Ken Ham, author of Divided Nation: Cultures in Chaos and a Conflicted Church. Our culture believes marriage is just a government or social institution. Since they believe life and mankind evolved, well, marriage must’ve too. And if this story is true, why not evolve what marriage means as society changes? But Genesis gives us the true history of marriage. God created Adam and brought Eve to him to be his wife—the first marriage.
