I love that show "Kids say funniest thing" . I once read a child's letter to God and it said, " Dear God, I went to a wedding today and they kissed IN THE CHURCH! are you OK with that?"
I believe God LOVES weddings. The Bible begins and ends with the weddings. On the first pages of the Genesis we see the very first walk down the aisle of a proud Father and His -Eve. And the end of Revelation we see the same proud Father presenting the Bride to His Son Jesus. God loves weddings! He takes marriage very seriously too. When it came to the Marriage covenant in the Bible you never see Him messing with it. WHY? I asked God and here is the answer He gave me: In Ephesians 5:31,32 Paul is repeating the very first, the most origional wedding sermon :"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Adam and Eve didn't have earthly parent, so it was really for us. Oneness, unity is the key for the marriage. Then Paul gives the clue why: " This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church." For those of you who's married- you are a walking, breathing, talking profound mystery of God! that's HUGE! God chose YOU and YOUR SPOUSE to demonstrate the profound mystery of Christ and His Bride.
The world today takes marriage so lightly, it breaks my heart. I wonder, how many teenagers loved God, have they seen more of Christ in their Dads and how many kids would love Church more, have they seen Church not only on Sundays and Bible Studies, but 24/7 in their mama. Yours and mine marriage meant to show the profound mystery since the begining of time!
So I encourage you to be the living, walking, talking, breathing, life changing profound mystery with your spouse. It is not a coincidence you're married to this person! God had a plan!

Thank you for your insight and sharing......
The marriage gospel you are preaching is one of the primary solutions to satan's attacks on the family and its structure.
It is not only in the news, but very much in my consciousness right now.......
This past week-end included 2 weddings and the next includes another, all expressions of the covenant relationship of God, Man and Woman that has existed since the garden.
thank you....
you're right...it IS under attack. I think satan tries to make people to break marriage covenant, so we won't feel as guilty breaking our covenant with God. ..how did the weddings go?
