Is marriage between a man and a woman? Yes and no. You might wonder why I answered it both ways. It all depends on the authority you choose to follow. If you look to God, He made it plain. As the Lord spoke in Matthew 19, from the very beginning, He created them male and female and said, "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh." Then He added, "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder." The Apostle Paul reiterated this in 1 Corinthians 7:2: "To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman have her own husband." This tells us that God's plan is for marriage to be between a man and a woman; otherwise, it is fornication. However, if you allow man to define terms, you can come up with all sorts of ideas. Man can redefine faith, salvation, heaven, and anything else. But God has made it clear that the result of not having Him as the authority is disastrous, as evidenced in the Book of Romans.
