.......who do, don't even believe in God ???
When the marriage vowels are said before a Holy God, this God expects people to honor the covenant, that they have made before God. A covenant cannot be broken , without a price to be paid .

Hey Jay, dont worry about the typos, ppl are on to me all the time. I spell well, just type so fast and with passion and often the letteers are out of place. But ppl that want truth can find it. Just keep speaking truth. amen
I have asked this same question over and over again, and many others along these lines. Why marry in a church and speak vows before a God ifyou dont believe and arent committed to Him. This is blasphemy and, it doesnt begin that marriage with the full blessings of God. We can fool other ppl but we cant ever fool God, FOr HE KNOWS THE HEART.
When we do break covenant with God, there are curses that come. Only Jesus can break those curses, and one must ask.
PPL just seem to have no ideal of the dangerous realm they live in when they are out of the realm of God.
BUt the Bible tells alll about it, if ppl will just read it and study it and KNOW it more, and stay in prayer.
Why do ppl claim to be Chrsitians and believe, when they life a life of sin and apart from God?? thats another one I cant fathrom. But God says HE will say IN KNEW YOU NOT.
Praise be to God that tries to warn us. May we all hear HIm before its too late.

I was married in my mother's living room. No one gave me crap about it, and I am married 15 years later to the same person. I also was married (to the same guy) in a double-lobster ceremony in the Church of the Subgenius by the Reverend Ivan Stang. Now, if my parents had known about that one, they probably would have kicked. However, the vows I took with lobster in hand were meant no less sincerely, even if the whole ceremony was a bit bizarre. I do wonder about the guy who married a machine of his own creation at the same ceremony. After all, the machine couldn't make vows. But I digress...
Anyway, on a more germane note, when you look at the divorce rate, the question of whether the person believes in God or not seems moot, as it seems clear the person doesn't believe in the vow, much less in the understood power that backs it. People who take vows often don't treat them seriously, and this has become so institutionalized that the institutions themselves have many escape clauses from those vows. Are they vows in fact, or simply "agreements?" Perhaps using God as the power behind the vow is a mistake. But when I took my vows, I meant them and still do, whether they be in silly or serious situation, before God or before Bob Dobbs.

I am going to be honest,I don't think the vows matter to that individual,at least they didn't to me years ago, because at that time was not into GOD,In fact I really did not know much about GOD,only to call out for help,and did not believe;hadn't accepted Jesus or anything Holy of any kind,therefore the Marriage vows it self were void to me,and I maybe wrong but how can vows stand for a alien,The bible Say's let no man come between that which I have put together.To me this implies Me or him /husband being part of the family of GOD,without confessing Jesus Christ as our or one of us Lord and Savior,and since confession is a requirement; how can the vows stand?even if you get married in a church a Pastor or his Minstrel leaders should ask but sometimes they don't.

Jay, not everyone takes marriage this seriously. While Marriage is a covenant for many, others think of the vows as just traditional words. Because if they did take them seriously, would they actually promise "till death do us part?"

Often times, churches and chapels are the most beautiful places to have a wedding; especially an indoor wedding.

My wife does not believe in God.
then ,why did she say the voes?
She believes in the institution of marriage and felt the commitment to one another was the important part of it

I was married in a wedding chapel because it was a pretty place to get married. We had a civil ceremony. There was no god present because he she or it does not exist.

They don't believe. Consequences and threats like that mean nothing when you don't believe in them.
I married in a church and I don't believe in God because my husband is a devout Catholic.

Because God has placed the truth in their hearts but they spend their life denying it yet the truth still makes itself known.

yes God expects any man and women (that get married) to keep their marriage vows. (christian or not)
