Mat 24:37-40
(37) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
(38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
(39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
(40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

A fairly standard minimal interpretation of Matt 24:38 emphasizes the thinking of man was upon daily carnal living void of spiritual life with God.

“A fairly standard minimal interpretation of Matt 24:38 emphasizes the thinking of man was upon daily carnal living void of spiritual life with God.”

Interestingly, what is mentioned “eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage” are all good things when God is in the picture. The problem comes when God is not factored in - one ends up with gluttony and drunkenness, trying to become one flesh without the commitment of marriage, so-called “gay marriages”, etc.
