Marriage is the union or joining together of a man and woman in a life long relationship. It is the public declaration of love and commitment to each other. Being married in church is an acknowledgement that God is also part of that relationship and that His blessing is being sought for the marriage.
Christians believe that marriage is a gift from God and the marriage service in church also brings with it an assurance that God cares for your relationship and that his resources and strength are available to help you.
