Why get married in church?

A marriage service, wherever it is held, is a public declaration of love and commitment to your partner.

If you choose to get married in church, there is an added dimension – the assurance that God cares about your relationship and that his resources and strength are available to help you.  Including God in your marriage doesn’t mean that you will avoid all the usual ups and downs, but you will know that you can look to God for help and guidance and that his love will sustain you.  You will also have the support and encouragement of the Christian Church family.
