My 6-year-old daughter has asked how it is that Adam and Eve are everyone’s parents when you aren’t allowed to marry within your own family. Honestly, we don’t know how to answer her, please help!
When the human race was first starting, God allowed family members to marry so that new families could be created. Once that was no longer necessary, God no longer allowed it.
