What does the Marriage Vow To Have and To Hold mean?

‘To have and to hold’ is another phrase often used in marriage vows, but what does it actually mean? Christian Marriage coaches Kevin & Amanda Wood tackle this subject, drawing from their own marriage and experience supporting other marriages and from their book. They attempt to break down the ‘having’ and the ‘holding’ and the symbolic nature of what goes on at the wedding. They discuss; the public and private nature of the wedding; the ‘status’ of marriage; surnames; sharing; matrimonial structure; covenant and how all this impacts the marriage through the seasons as well as ‘the empty nest’ and the importance of having a plan.
 
Listeners might also be interested in their book ‘Marriage Made in Heaven (when we say I will)’, which goes deeper into the traditional marriage vows and how they affect the marriage long after the wedding day.
