Wedding dilemma for many couples: Should God be invited to the marriage celebration?

Roxanne Louh, a family therapist in Florida, conducts marriage seminars with her husband, a Greek orthodox priest — and together, the couple offer key insights into how faith factors into marriage.

"You're not a random act in history," said Fr. Louh. "God has a purpose for you, whether you're married or single." "American men and women who regularly attend a church, synagogue, temple or mosque are significantly happier in their marriages." "I don't think God yearned for us to be in a marriage that we're unhappy with." After the crowning, the couple, led by the priest, walk around the altar three times. This, too, is deeply significant.   For the newly married couple, "their first steps are taking place in the church."
