Marriage covenants and contracts

PN moralists keep asking: How can one forget God in a marriage contract?

Forgot God in a contract? I am a Christian and am all for the marriage in God. That is called a covenant and it can never be a contract. How can one sign an agreement with God? God is love, eternal love and, as such, all couples who marry in the name of God (they say "by the Church"), promise God a pact. That is something else and nothing to do with a civil contract. One can marry another in the jungle, no priest present, and if both marry in the name of God, their marriage is lifelong if not also eternal (in God). If they default, their spiritual belief, hence their faith, would be, to say the least, on their conscience.

A civil marriage is purely a contract, an agreement that can (may) be mutually rescinded. This is precisely why we mortals should never interfere with the defaulting couple's life and happiness. We should not play the judge on others, no matter how deep-rooted our faith is in God.

We should learn to start loving, empathising and caring for others. The state (the people) has no hold on anyone as long as anyone does not break the norms of social behaviour.

What man enacts, man may repeal, especially where injustices cause so much pain as in the lives of victims of broken civil marriages.
