I'm a little behind on my bible studies. What is the biblical definition of marriage exactly. Chapter and verse please . A bumper sticker explanation won't cover it.

He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
-Matthew 19:4-6 (ESV)
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
-Leviticus 18:22 (ESV)
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
-1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (ESV)
There is many more verses that talk about homosexuality. Today's society seems to think this is something new but if you read the bible you will see it has been practiced by many cultures for thousands of years. The bible says that homosexuality is a sin just like lying, cheating, using the lords name in vain or being a drunkard.
Have any more questions on theology? I would be happy to answer.
