Marriage is Important
The Importance of Marriage – primarily from the perspective of Scripture.
God’s Creation
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27 NKJV)
Right from the start God made men and women equal, in “the image of God” but with complementary differences as men and women.
On the creation of man God placed him in the garden and gave him His vision for life in the world that He, God had created. God then saw that something was incomplete and said “Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” (Genesis 2:18 NLT). God had seen that it was not good for the first man, and for most of us, to be left by himself.
God then created/crafted woman out of the rib of that first man ( Genesis 2:21-22). Then, God presented and entrusted this remarkable gift to the man.
What we know as marriage had been instituted by God. A man and a woman becoming one new entity and, as we are told later being “one flesh”. That entity of one man and one woman being the fundamental human relationship in God’s created world. This human relationship being the basis for family — a relationship that is there ahead of the parent-child relationship.
Genesis 2:24 tells us

Restore Marriage
We in the church are the key force, with God’s leading, to restore marriage to His design within our nation.
Australia legalised same-sex marriage on December 9, 2017. The federal Parliament passed the Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Act 2017 on December 7, 2017, which redefined marriage as “the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life”. This occurred when 12.2 million Australians (52.1% of the population) according to the Census of 2016 said they were Christian.
Many said prior to the Marriage Amendment Act that it was the sharp end of a wedge and that there was much more on the agenda of those behind the Act. Since the Act, many changes have occurred across
