Donna Schaper believes that we speak frequently about whether people can marry, but rarely what marriage actually means.

She believes that marriage conditions us for unconditional love.

“Many of us play at marriage penultimately; that’s why the vineyards are not yet restored. In the marriage vow, we say no to consumerism in our romantic lives. If you insert conditions into the covenant, so will your partner. If you take conditions out of the covenant, so might your partner. Unconditional love restores the fertility of the vineyard.”
