So how could they reconcile others? Sadly, the church looked as if we were okay with what was happening. This concerned me, so I asked God if there was anything that I could do. As I was riding one day, I heard the words aEURoeMarriage is a covenant, not an institution,aEUR and I was not sure what this was about. So my research began. What does the marriage covenant mean?

How does all of this affect our relationship with God? Who gave the courts the authority to redefine marriage?
