Vows before the Lord are sacred
One of the ways we know marriage is sacred is because God uses marriage as a metaphor for his relationship with this children- Both Old & New Testaments
What happens as the marriage relationship is restored:
-Embrace the truth of God's intention for marriage
-Covenant is reaffirmed
-Love brings trust and security in faithfulness
-Embrace the truth of God's intention for marriage
-Covenant is reaffirmed
-Love brings trust and security in faithfulness
