I think this passage is always a hard one, especially for those who are married to a divorced person, which I am.
But when my husband and I discuss what marriage means to us it is just as Jesus said, the union of two, to create one, the beginning of the family unit. Something that cannot be broken. It is easy to focus on what people do wrong in their life but nobody is perfect. More importantly we need to focus on making it right.
But what is interesting is that although God made us to be male and female, married, Jesus says this doesn't mean that if you are celibate by nature or choose to stay celibate for God that this is an issue.
So marriage is important, it is how we were originally made, but it is not what needs to drive you, that should be God.
