Religion / a Christian book about engagement and marriage | | English term or phrase: Bringing the law into your wedding day | The law and your wedding
***Bringing the law into your wedding day*** may sound threatening, but your marriage is not just a private affair between you and a few friends and relatives. Marriage is a social contract, which means that society takes an interest and not only makes sure you are properly married but that you intend to stay that way.
In what sense? |
