Marriage in the eyes of God is a committed, exclusive relationship between a man and a woman, intended to last a lifetime, publicly and according to the laws and customs of their community. In the eyes of God, marriage is not merely a ceremony, but a commitment between the man and woman, with their hearts being considered as such before Him. In the United States, marriage is recognized as a marriage of the first wife when a man takes a second wife.
Divorce is not recognized by God, and a marriage ceremony alone does not make a marriage. In God’s eyes, marriage stands as a profound testament to God’s enduring love. The Bible teaches us that marriage is not a marriage of the flesh, but a marriage of the spirit. In a marriage relationship, two hearts and lives come together, and each has their own will. Jesus chose to deny His will in order to do God’s will.
Marriage is not only a union between two humans, but also a union that can only be dissolved by death. Family consent is not essential for marriage, and the Church does not necessarily dictate the marriage.
Marriage is a covenant between a husband and wife, made in front of God, and is considered a sealed deal. In the eyes of God, marriage is a one-flesh, whole-life union that covers every aspect of human existence, including physical, sexual, mental, emotional, moral, spiritual, and economic aspects. In the Bible, marriage is designed to be a picture of Christ and His bride, the church. If a marriage is broken due to adultery, it is considered broken. If God does not release a spouse from their marriage, He will provide wisdom and grace to be the husband or wife He needs. A valid marriage is one where God enters into it, and it is considered a marriage in God’s eyes when it has completed a formal wedding ceremony involving covenantal vows. In the eyes of God, a man and a woman come together in a committed, exclusive relationship, intended to last a lifetime, publicly.

How does the Bible say marriage should be done?
Marriage is about being close in spirit, mind, and body. In the Old Testament, we are taught that a man should leave his parents and marry. Then they will be one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Married couples should be one. Sex is a way to show love and make a marriage happy. It is also how married couples can have children (Genesis 1:28). Intimacy brings joy and children into the family. The Savior taught, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). This teaches couples a powerful lesson. As a spouse, you must give up your old life for your husband or wife. If you put your spouse first and focus on your marriage, it will be stronger.

What does the Bible say about the end of marriage?
The Bible and separation in marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11–But for those who are married, I have a command from the Lord. A wife must not leave her husband. If she leaves, she should stay single or reconcile. The husband must not leave his wife. Separation is not something to be done lightly. It’s serious and should be avoided if possible. Sometimes it’s necessary, but these cases are rare. In these cases, we shouldn’t look for someone else, but to reconcile the marriage. If a therapeutic separation is possible, it’s the best option! The passage in 1 Corinthians above says this is agreed upon. If it can incorporate the 90-day detox, even better!

📹 1 What Makes a Marriage Legal in the Sight of God
Answers the question: What makes a marriage legal and binding in the sight of God? Scripture references: Malachi 2: 10-15.
The question is how does God make covenants? Right. He never makes covenants and getting approval with the authorities. Never. He works alone. Marriage is a secret and covenant agreement with you and your spouse through faith. Believe in the Lord and you’ll never need to make it “official” from authorities. Everyone is deceived by what our ancestors have passed down and we start to believe that “writing on a paper” makes it official. Wrong. It says in the Bible, when the farmer goes to sleep the devil comes and plants his seed among his crops. Ok. The thing to look into is Christ and the church resembles a marriage. Does it say anything about getting government approval makes us official to Christ? No. So there’s your answer. People talk about Romans 13:1 Submission to Government Authorities. This doesn’t mean follow their customs, it talks about following common laws, “For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” Romans 13:4 Again, authorities do not force us to be married and write on a piece of paper. Keep Gods word alive inside each of you. Study and have faith by obeying his commands. The true connection as us the church. Amen!
we live in a unique time and culture, in which our society has become so saturated with satanic ideologies that legal marriage has become a farce. Homosexuals are allowed to “marry”, and no-fault divorce means anyone can divorce at any time for any reason (or no reason). This makes a mockery of marriage in the eyes of God, so I’m not too worried if someone wants to forego a legal marriage these days. That said, I would still legally marry (through the church). Just make sure you know what you’re doing… marriage isn’t about “falling in love” or having a big fancy wedding, it’s about making a serious commitment in the presence of God to love (the action not the feeling) someone even when you don’t feel like it anymore. It’s meant to last until death.
2:20 God is the officiant… He is the only officiant. The Bible says “What God brings together let no man separate.” Why do you have a problem with people saying they are “married in God’s eyes” if they actually are? And if His Word backs it up or doesn’t contradict it? If God really is accepting of a person’s marriage, who are you to say it’s not legitimate? The Bible never defines marriage as something that needs to be done in a church or governmentally legitimate to be legitimate before God. The Bible describes marriage as when “A man leaves his father and mother to coexist with his wife and the two become one flesh.” (paraphrased) Nowhere in the Bible does it require a ceremony or documentation. Romans 13 doesn’t really work as an argument either because we are talking about marriage, which God already created and defined. The government can contradict scripture and it mean we have to follow it because of Romans 13. Also, a piece of paper means nothing if there is no commitment between the two people. So commitment is what actually matters. Like you said, you don’t wanna stand before God one day and be married to someone you weren’t sure you were fully committed to. This is not to say I believe weddings are useless, I think they’re good and important, but whether it is what legitimizes a matrimony is a different issue. Men do not have the power to declare people married. Only God has this power, and it something that He created and that only the two spouses involved freely choose to do.
What would you say to a marriage that was done without a ceremony but filled out a marriage certificate and had a notary as a witness? My husband and I did it that way. We live in separate countries and during covid he found that the state of Alabama has a new law that is legal but doesn’t require a ceremony but is still a legal marriage. They say it’s still registered in the government’s database. In face because he was on parole at the time we have not been together intimately yet and it’s been almost three years
Anyone who doesn’t want to get legally married and says that you can be married in your heart, there was a formal legal process by which to get married back then.

So I have a question. I’ve been married three times through the Magistrate. And I have somebody telling me since I’m divorced my last husband a week after we got married decided to start cheating on me he moved out to go be with another woman and our entire marriage he has lived with her. I divorced him got the paperwork. I was told by somebody I cannot get remarried that it’s not biblical. That it says nothing about remarriage in the Bible only that you were to give the statement for divorce so they knew the reason why you guys were not living together and married no more. But if I wanted to be with anybody I’d have to reconcile with him. My question is was I ever married in the eyes of God I always went to the Magistrate there wasn’t really any major vows. I wasn’t even in the church when I did it. I didn’t have a pastor. I would like to be with somebody and have a husband. And he married in God’s eyes with a covenant. But I’m told that if I do that I’ll be living an adultery. Can anybody answer my question?
