But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female — the appeal to creation bypasses the Mosaic permission and goes to the original design. At the beginning of creation (Genesis 1:27) establishes the creation order as the standard for marriage rather than the Mosaic accommodation to sin. Male and female — the complementary pair, created together, for each other. The creation design is the interpretive key for marriage; everything since is to be understood in relation to it.
