Any thoughts on this reading for a wedding?




Some of the Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”


Matthew 19:3‭-‬6


I find this reading beautiful because it's what we believe about marriage, but I'm looking for some perspectives. Everyone attending was raised a Christian, but most aren't practicing or devout. Wondering how it would be perceived or understood by people with a non-christian/non-religious view of marriage

    It it’s meaningful to you, use it.
    It may raise eyebrows. It may also cause a bit of distress for anyone who feels trapped in an abusive marriage, to be reminded of it so unexpectedly at a happy time, but if this is a benchmark if your faith, then that’s what it is.

    We had this exact verse read out at our wedding, but the person started the reading at "the one who made them at the beginning..." rather than the whole thing. I think it's a good passage.
