They may be unnecessary, but they aren't out of a lack of relationship. Rather they typically are done because one does love their spouse and wishes to please them...even if they don't have to do siad things to please them.

True, but this thread isn't about marriage rituals. I mentioned rituals in response to NITW's comment about Love and Conviction from Holiness preachers.
IF, and that's a big IF, love and "conviction" are conveyed from holiness preachers, there wouldn't be near as many backsliders, IMO...
