2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding (us) TO MARRY, and commanding to ABSTAIN from [EATING] MEATS, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Comment: When God married Adam and Eve ( Genesis 1:24-25) they became one flesh.
Modern people: when we "break off one relationship and start another". There are "soul ties" left hanging. It's best to be betrothed for a year. This happened in the FIRST book of the Bible. (not 1 Corinthians 13). If a couple cannot keep the friendship alive, there is less chance of a lifelong marriage with one partner. Phillipians 2, for more reading.
