Jesus is clear. Jesus doesn’t equivocate or hedge. Jesus is all about love but he is also clear about marriage.

God made men and women. Men marry women. This creates unity. This is holy.

Jesus said, “Moses wrote this command only as a concession to your hardhearted ways. In the original creation, God made male and female to be together. Because of this, a man leaves father and mother, and in marriage he becomes one flesh with a woman—no longer two individuals, but forming a new unity. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart.

~Mark 10:5-9
