In the Book of Genesis we are told that God created the woman as a helper for the man, and that they would cleave together in marriage. In the New Testament Jesus reinforces this, saying that no man should divide what God has made into one. Conservative Christians state that the Bible clearly states that God shows us that the only right place for a sexual relationship is in a marriage between a man and a woman, and that outside of this, it is a sin against God. However, few issues cause as much division in today's church as issues related to sex outside of marriage and homosexual relationships.
