Marriage vows, in
the form "to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part", have been recited at uk church weddin gs sin ce 1552. But before the weddin g service was written in to the book of common prayer, marriages were much more in formal: couples could simply promise themselves to one another at any time or place and the spoken word was as good as the written contract. In this audio clip, three academics - janet soskice, reader in modern theology and philosophical theology, cambridge university; frederik pedersen, lecturer in history, aberdeen university; and christin a hardyment, social historian and journalist - discuss the history of and the role of state and church in marriage.
