“Wedding vows are not a declaration of present
love but a mutually binding promise of future love. A wedding should not be
primarily a celebration of how loving you feel now-that can safely be assumed.
Rather, in a wedding you stand up before God, your family, and all the main
institutions of society, and you promise to be loving, faithful, and true to
the other person in the future, regardless of undulating internal feelings or
external circumstances”
Timothy Keller – The Meaning of Marriage
