Such a wonderful teaching! Thanks

@DrFrankCrosby Your comments are out of context and obviously biased. You are presuming they are doing this outside the Grace and the blessings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He, i.e. God, instituted marriage. You are again assuming that they are saviors unto themselves, and that my friend misses the mark. As for your quote, again, that is out of context. That quote refers to the next life.

This video completely contradicts Jesus' teachings, selling the message that marriage is a little church in which people can "save their souls".

Luke 20:34-36

34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection
