My views on marriage are shifting. People just aren't marrying anymore. The fall off has been dramatic in just the last few years. In a way I'm glad. People will say anything to the preacher to get the church wedding they want. I'm no longer doing weddings unless the couple has a strong connection to my congregation.
A few years ago I found one of my grooms in the local psych unit on suicide watch. This was only 2 weeks after the wedding. The bride was pregnant by someone else with whom she was now living.
