[QUOTE="Paidiske, post: 73906901, member: 386627"] No, I don't think God is an integral part of marriage. In the Christian west, a marriage has historically been created by the free consent of both parties; at some point it became customary for clergy to pray for God's blessing on that marriage, but basically, in Christian thought, as long as they both say "I will" (or the cultural equivalent), they're married. That's why even though Catholics see marriage as a sacrament, they see [B][I]the couple[/I][/B] as the ministers of that sacrament. Now of course if you're Christian you're going to pray about your marriage and seek to love your spouse and live within that marriage as a Christian, so in that sense God is "part" of the marriage, but it doesn't make atheists any less married.
