Marriage, he says, "isn't created by human contracts, but it is something that was created by God as a life long faithful partnership between a man and a woman. One of the major goals that marriage serves is to propagate the human race and to promote healthy families within that propagation, but also to model the mental faithfulness between God and his people, and Christ and his church."
- Richard Mouw

Setting the "goal" of marriage of aside; if marriage is a contract with or including God, then why are atheists allowed to marry? Between atheists, this is a seriously-taken commitment to EACH-OTHER!

I know it's old news, but... This makes me feel so sad.
