Mal 2:10 | MHM | STEP | Unfaithfulness in Marriage and Faithlessness to the Covenant This section is a warning from God about unfaithfulness—not just in religious life, but also in family and marriage. God reminds His people that He is the Father of all and the Creator of everyone. Yet, the people of Israel have not kept their promises to God or to each other. They have disobeyed God’s covenant and have married people who worship idols. This unfaithfulness brings dishonor to God and brings trouble on themselves. God wants His people to be loyal—both to Him and in their marriages. He especially hates divorce and wants families to stay together and raise godly children. v. 10 : God asks, Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi 2:10). God reminds the people that they are all part of one family—He created them all. Yet, they betray each other and break the sacred promises made to their ancestors. By acting this way, they dishonor God’s covenant.
