No Wedding Vows

Glory to God - A podcast by Fr. Stephen Freeman, and Ancient Faith Ministries

Fr. Stephen notes that in an Orthodox wedding, there are no wedding vows. This stands in stark contrast to the central place vows hold in Western tradition. He suggests that the West has come to think of marriage as a "contract" between two people while the Orthodox Church thinks of it as a "union." The difference is important.
