“Biblical Marriage isn’t what many Christian leaders want you to think it was. It wasn’t beautiful. It wasn’t sacred or holy. It wasn’t defined by religious texts. It was a secular business deal. On the Christian side, marriage wasn’t made a sacrament until the 1500s. Meaning, prior to that time, Christians didn’t think about marriage as something the Church had to bless or regulate or define. It was merely an arrangement between two families that took place in someone’s home without involving the pastor, the priest, the bishop or any Christian leader.”
