Hey all!
I was curious about the history of marriage. For instance, what is the biblical/historical basis for modern day wedding ceremonies? Would it be a sin for a couple to get married without people knowing about it or involving an ordained minister? Didn't the Puritans view it as a civil and not religious ceremony? and last of all, know of any good resources where I might learn more? It just seems like verses about weddings and the beginnings of a marriage are very scant in the Bible. How then should we approach it?
I know that's a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
