Church for marriage headline. No, I mean the the church actually is at the moment trying to encourage people to maybe come back to church to get married, and and the line we're taking is actually we invented this quite a long time ago. It's got a pretty good track record on the whole, and.
Because this lovey-dovey feeling is going to go, and your marriage will really begin the day you sit down at the breakfast table and you look at your partner over the cornflakes and you think, "Ugh, why did I marry you? You're horrible," and that's the day your marriage really, really begins.
