But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
The Lord leads the resolution of the question back to the beginning of creation. He shows that the true meaning of marriage must be understood not from arrangements that arose as a result of sin, but from God’s original creative purpose. God created the human being male and female, for a complementary and holy union. This confirms that marriage is not merely a human agreement, but an order established by the Creator. With this word Christ reveals that the foundation of the family is God’s will, not society’s changeable customs.
