This topic makes me wonder if a significant portion AFF folks think that a preacher is the authority that establishes the joining of two people with a marriage convenant....thus making a preacher the authority that can determine a bond no longer exists?

I believe the vow is between the husband and wife. The pastor is there as a witness of that marriage and for a spiritual guide or counselor if the need arises.
However, I have been in church 25 years and have very rarely gone to any pastor I was under for guidance or counseling. I have the Holy Ghost and God is able to answer my prayers when I go to Him. He has shown that to be true, time after time. I have also prayed for my own healing.
