AnswerIf you have a religious wedding, it is natural to have some religious content in the service. This will include Bible readings and prayers for the happiness of the newly weds.

Answer

Among the reasons is that The Bible contains the early history of marriage and the foundation upon which it was based, and upon which a marriage can be based to ensure it lasts. The Bible has much to say about the principles which guide a successful marriage since God is the author of love, respect, equality, selflessness and any other quality one wishes to think of that enables relationships to survive. Over the years, the couple need to keep these things in their hearts and minds and there's no better way to do so than to include it at the celebration and beginning of their married life together.

Answer:

God CREATED marriage and the "family" structure for the stable bearing and rearing of children in the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His Truth. He MUST therefore be acknowledged at weddings.

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Gen.2:24)

"...God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, and replenish the earth..." (Gen.1:27-28).

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Prov.22:6)

How many reading are in the Bible?

There is no set number of readings in general but there are structured 'readings' for topical or thematic purposes.

Is there chapters taken out of the Bible?

The Bible text is established by scholars engaged in studying the manuscripts that we have from the early church. The idea of chapters being "taken out of the Bible" assumes that we have a single manuscript that is the agreed-on text, and that is simply not true. (There is agreement for about 95% or so of the text, and no doctrinal issues depend on disputed readings). Almost any Bible will have alternate readings for some of the verses listed in the notes at the bottom of the page. Now if you look at John 8 in a modern Bible, you may see a heading note for it or you may see it in parenthesis. This is because the current opinion of most scholars is John 8 is not supported by the best and earliest manuscripts. On the other hand, the story there is very consistent with John's writing and Jesus's life and teachings, so it is included in the Bible but annotated. But the chapter has not been "taken out" of the Bible.
