Before God Was?

Were there “marriage” laws before God? If marriage did exist who married the men and women or were they married in the eyes of God? ~ Lyn Bates

God is eternal, having no beginning or ending (Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 93:2; Isaiah 40:28; 57:15; Romans 1:20; 16:26; 1 Timothy 1:17). God brought marriage into existence during creation week when he presented Eve to her husband, Adam (Genesis 2:20-25). Since marriage is an institution established by God, it should be little surprise that God regulates it. People living today turn to the New Testament for instruction regarding God’s marriage laws (Matthew 19:9; Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7:1-39; Ephesians 5:22-31). God’s marriage laws apply to both Christians and non-Christians (1 Corinthians 7:12-14).
