"As the couple passes between their families, they act like the tongue on a zipper uniting two families.."
"In reality, it is two people and two families that are coming
together to form a new merger. Your family’s impact on your new family
must not be minimized, but rather, understood, and planned for (p. 19).”
Dennis Rainey (editor) in Preparing for Marriage"
"... this seating arrangement gives a portrait of God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15"
“Leaving parents and holding fast to a wife, forming a new one-flesh
union, is meant from the beginning to display this covenant—Christ’s
leaving his Father and taking the church as his bride, at the cost of
his life, and holding fast to her in a one-spirit union forever (p.
30).” John Piper in This Momentary Marriage
