Marriage should not be viewed as a grand-standing accomplishment. It is an incredible undertaking, the details of which are between a man, a woman, and their God. When I approached you, it wasn’t with the congregation. When I courted you, I didn’t do so with the knowledge of the world. When I proposed, I sought God, then you. Alone. It wasn’t until I married you did I publicly make known my agenda of having a lifetime partner, suited just for me. Such matters of covenant should be made alone.
