Question:
When was the marriage ceremony first initiated?
Answer:
One of the first recorded weddings was when Laban gave Leah to Jacob (Genesis 29:22-30), and made a feast.
How does God see marriage? Is the marriage ceremony just a custom we practice?—In the first marriage, God brought the woman to the man and they became “one flesh” (Genesis 2:22-25).
What is a definition of marriage?—When a man and a woman live together as man and wife. The laws of the land are given to us to maintain godly order in marriage, and we should follow these legalities in getting married (Romans 13:1).Jesus attended the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-10), and thus gave His sanction to the wedding and the marriage. He also supplied the wine that brought joy to the feast. Only He can bring true joy to a wedding and a marriage.
