What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. -- Mark 10
What does that mean exactly? When and how does God join a man and a woman together?
Is it through the act of sexual intercourse?
Is it through the covenant promises that they make specifically before God as believers in Him?
Does it require both the covenant and the sexual intercourse?
Does it matter if one or the other party was an unbeliever and the covenant was made to some other god?
Does it matter if one party had their fingers crossed behind their back and had no intention of carrying out the covenant? IOW, does God validate a lie?
