Marriage (Then-Mosaic Days)
In biblical days, betrothal took place before the actual marriage, and it was considered as binding as the marriage itself. The promise may have been broken, but a betrothal was considered final.
Among the Hebrews it was a verbal covenant. Marriages in those days were not built on “romance and love”, rather more practical in those days. Most of the were arranged by the mother and father, and sometime as early as before they were actually born. The arrangement was considered binding with the exception of a refusal from the bride to be. A man could not take on a wife without her consent. Retrieved June 4, 2015 from: www.bible-history.com

Today’s culture have no true respect of a promise, agreement, engagement, or marriage, from the look of the institution of marriage in comparison to Mosaic times. Why Marriage Is Important
Marriage is the fundamental building block of all people. Marriage connects people, and those people are able to produce children and share love, values, and morals through them. Marriage springs forth family, and families build communities. We were created for relationship, first with
God and then to others. God did create us because He needed us, but because He loved us. “We love Him because He first loved us”, describes what Apostle John meant about God love for us was so abundant, that He loved us enough to send His Son Jesus to save us all from our sin.

It would also remove childbearing from marriage. That would hurt children, which is considered the most vulnerable. It would deny as a matter of policy the ideal that children need a mother and a father. God wouldn’t use the both to produce them if children didn’t need both. Traditional marriage laws reinforce the idea that a married mother and father is the most appropriate environment for fostering and rearing children. (Anderson, R., 2013)
Recognizing same –sex relationships as marriages would legally eradicate that ideal. It would deny the importance of both mothering and fathering to children: that both boys and girls benefit from fathers in different ways. Redefining marriage would diminish the social burden and motivation for husbands and wives to remain together. Changing marriage to be any other thing than traditional, will lead to destruction of religious liberty. This will only create a separation for man and God, if the perpetuation of sin is permitted as legal. This country is dying by the allowance of cultural sin toleration benefits the world and grieves God. “There is a way that seem right to man, but its end is the way to death.” (Proverbs
