Marriage true and clean is a privilege from Jehovah God. He himself arranged it, and “there is no unrighteousness in him.” (Ps. 92:15,) Happy are the Christians that are faithful to the divinely imposed obligations of their marriage. They uphold the true dignity and honorableness of this divine institution. They take to heart the Christian commandment: “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” (Heb. 13:4,) They enjoy not primarily the pleasures of the fleshly relationship but chiefly the spiritual opportunities that this close union of the two sexes affords them. This fulfills the idealness of marriage and earns God’s approval and blessing. It makes wedlock a help toward gaining salvation and serving the Most High God. It vindicates Jehovah God in lovingly instituting this provision for man’s joy and for fulfilling the divine purpose.

God is the originator of marriage - he performed the very first marriage - Adam and Eve. Read Genesis Chapter 2:24 - a man will leave his father and mother, and he will stick to his wife and they will become one flesh. Or, Matthew Chapter 19:6 - what God has yoked together, let no man put apart.
Getting legally married plays an important part in having a marriage that is accepted and honorable before God.

Which god?
I view marriage as something two people who love each other do. Gender, race, religion doesn't matter.

The Supreme Being of the Universe is deeply concerned with us getting a bit of paper before we do certain things with our nasty bits.
Duh!

I love that proclamation on the family that beta-fishy quoted from.
A great talk I once heard conjectured that in that final judgment, the first question God will ask us is "how did you treat your wife (or husband)?"
I think he takes it very seriously.

A sacred union between one man and a few dozen women.

He's not too keen on marriage and thinks it should be avoided if at all possible he also thinks that we should hate our families.
That's what it says in the Bible.
