MARRIAGE

Is a marriage a covenant between a man and woman,

pledging to serve one another until one of them dies?
Absolutely, yes.
Who is the power of marriage vested in? The truth is so
bizarre compared with what we are conditioned to think
marriage is, it will seem completely inappropriate at first
glance. Religious authorities, and governments, act in
very similar ways. Yahuah brings a man and woman
together, and any other power that attempts to encroach
on His authority is a prop, or hoax - but people believe
other authorities are real. The first man and woman had
no ceremony; Yahuah brought the ashah to Adam, and
they became one flesh. Yahuah was very much involved,
and Yahusha mentioned how He made them male and
female (Mt. 19:4-6). When Yitshaq and Rebekah became
man and wife, Abraham wasn't present. How did they
manage it? First, Rebekah's brother and mother accepted

the proposal from Abraham's servant Alazar, and then

Rebekah accepted, even before meeting Yitshaq.
There may or may not be a celebration party (such as the
celebration we read of about the wedding at Kana), which
today is called a reception. Some celebrations might last
many days. But, in the case of Yitshaq and Rebekah,
look at how the two became man and wife:
"And Yitshaq brought her into his mother Sarahs
tent. And he took Rebekah and she became his wife,
and he loved her. Thus Yitshaq was comforted after
his mothers death." - Gen / Barashith 24:67
This strikes at the heart of the artificial powers claimed by
religious and state authorities, and the shallowness of
engagement / wedding rings, wedding gowns,
ceremonies, long engagement periods, and all other
human traditions that strangle young couples. Everyone
is so confused, people don't even know they're married
when they live together as a married couple does.
They are married, and a ceremony doesn't make them
any more married than they already are. We have been
looking at things only from our fleshly viewpoint for far too
long. Yahuah brings us together, and no one else.
