Jesus was unequivocal in saying that to understand marriage and the sexual union, we must go back to the beginning and see how God created humanity and to what end. (See Matthew 19 and Mark 10.)
Jesus holds up the creation story in Genesis not as a quaint Sunday school lesson, but as authoritative — reminding us that God created each of us male and female, each for the other. And the sexual union that God created and ordains is for husband and wife to come together in physical union, one flesh.
Each reference in scripture where Jesus quotes Genesis 2:24 (a MAN shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his WIFE, and they shall become one flesh), Jesus affirms the truth that there is only one marriage under God - one man, one woman.
