Preaching for a wedding today. I won’t share the whole sermon, but I will share a central thought.
“I want you to remember that the three most important words in marriage might not be “I love you;” they might just be “I forgive you.” Forgiveness is the center of our relationship with God. He is the God who loved us and forgave us in Christ alone. So forgive each other. … Love each other, not for what it does for you, but for what you do for each other.”

Love and forgiveness has nothing to do with marriage per say, it is 100% a legal contract about property rights on the death of one partner, the surviving partner gets everything which is then passed on to the partnerships offspring, if any. It serves no other purpose. The ceremony part is ancient created before the days of an enforceable legal system, publically letting everyone know of the binding contract. We all love our traditions though, so you should not try claiming ownership of things that you do not own to force everyone to conform to your version.
