The Foundation of Marriage
Michael White
Genesis 2:18-24
18 Then the Lord God said, ''It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.'' 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, ''This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.''
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
In the summer of 1787 and group of 55 delegates met to draft a governing document for our country. So renown and intelligent were those men that Thomas jefferson, writing from Paris to John Adams in London, called them and ''assembly of demigods''
After months of vigorous discussion and debate a final draft was formed, which was ratified the following year. It contained a preamble, 7 articles, and the provision to allow for future amendments.

Every legal case that comes through the courts depends on what is and what is not constitutional- i.e. are the principles set forth in the proposed legislation in line with what the constitution actually says.
