Marriage at the time of Christ

6. How does the Bible describe the condition of marriage at the time of Christ?

“They became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. … Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. … God delivered them up to shameful affections. For the women have changed the natural use into that which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error” (Romans 1:21, 24,26, 27).
