The ceremony of marriage is the first and oldest ceremony in the entire world celebrated in the beginning in the presence of God himself. Marriage is a gift of God, given to comfort the sorrows of life and magnify its joys. Marriage is the clasping of hands, the blending of hearts, the union of two lives as one. Marriage must stand, not by authority of the State or by seal on a wedding certificate, but by the strength of love and by the power of God. Marriage must continue to recognize God as the source of romance; love and affection, for these are His gifts.
