Sermon for the Affirmation of Holy Matrimony of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Rohder

This is what the Lord says. Let’s go back to the plant. There are many wrong ways to grow a plant. There are many ways that a plant can die. God has created a plant to grow in a certain way. We do best when we follow that way. In fact, your marriage, in Christ, forms you to be a different person, a better person than you were before. You understand more about your vows now than you did a few months ago when you made them. The longer you keep them, the more you will realize that you have to change, that marriage in Christ is forming you into the person that God wants you to be.
