In the first century, weddings weren't preformed in a temples, and churches didn't exist, yet. There were no ceremonies or oaths, because the bride's consent wasn't required.
At what point then, did God join a couple together?

... the vast majority of Catholics support marriage equality. Source Will the Catholic Church be next?
A requirement of Roman Catholicism is faithful adherence to the magisterium of the Church, including faithful practice of what she professes. [.......]
Do that, and well - you're not Catholic.

If you were going to work to PROTECT something ... a quality or an action or a status ... wouldn't you fight against that which destroys that thing rather than trying to keep others from sharing in that thing?

Blew your cover there, pal.
Dust and sandals and all that.

At what point do the two become one flesh? At the birth of their child, of course! That's when "God" joins two, so that two become one!

But Holy Mother Church allows for divorce, right?
Please show me where the Catholic Church acknowledges divorce...
The answer to your question is not 'right,' but 'wrong.'

What I'm stating here is what the Roman Catholic Church professes - you can look it up if you want. It is what it is.
I directly addressed your comment on divorce, so let me repeat myself here for your benefit:
The Roman Catholic Church does not permit a marriage to be dissolved.
Period.
Henry VIII and all that...
