Christians honor the teachings in the sacred scriptures. In the Bible, known as sacred scriptures, they are taught that homosexual behavior and non-marital sexual behavior is sinful and wrong. Those behaviors can result in serious consequences. Therefore marriage between a man and a woman are considered the good and right way to have sexual relations. Many people think the Christians thought up the whole idea of banning homosexual behaviors and extramarital sexual relations. That is far from the truth. Jews and Christian both honor and obey the sacred scriptures and teaching of moral behavior in this area. They do not hate homosexuals. They don't have a phobia of homosexuals either. Many Christians have homosexuals in their families and they love those people even if they can't condone the sexual behavior. I personally have two relatives like that and I love them very much.

Christians mainly disagree with homosexuality because it is against God's original design for human kind. God states in the Bible that we were made to interact sexually with the opposite sex, men and women, male and female. You can find out more by reading in Genesis 1:27 and 2:18-24.

Some Christians interpret specific Biblical verses in such a way that they condemn or persecute gay people, for example Leviticus 18:22. It's important to understand that these verses have multiple interpretations.

or example, many Jews see this verse as referring to the rape of enemies as a form of humiliation.

Because we believe what The Bible says, its says that you should save yourself for the perfect one, which God will lead you to. And that you shouldn't touch each other.

What do most christans believe about marriage?

Most Christians believe marriage is between one man and one woman. They believe homosexual relationships and marriages are sinful. They believe such things as polygamy is wrong. (Polygamy in the Bible was a temporary thing that was only allowed at the time because of the circumstances, but the details are left for a different question.) Most believe that some of the "outrageous" marriage situations that nonbelievers use to ridicule Christianity were either one time things or cultural things that God allowed in those times for the good of people. (Examples: Man and brother's widow, allowing concubines, etc. why he allowed these things is also a question for another time.) Christians beliefs about divorce and remarriage is one of the most variable things. The most wide spread and Biblically accepted idea is that you can divorce someone for reasons of adultery. Either that or your spouse has a living spouse and they divorced them for nonBiblical reasons. In that case your current spouse wasn't free to marry in the first place. (Details of this are a discussion for another place.) These are the main views that are Biblically supported. There are a lot of Christians who believe things that aren't Biblically supported, but this is as close to a list of general things Christians believe about marriage.
