In the midst of my insomnia-induced thought process, I got to thinking on a friend's wedding that he wants me to officiate in a few months. Once I got past the "what the heck am I going to say?" thoughts, I started pondering on the idea of a covenant relationship. There are several examples of this type of relationship offered up in the bible. The first one that came to mind is from Genesis after Noah got out of the ark:
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”- Genesis 9:9-11 (NIV)God then went on to say, "But, if I find out thou hast done me wrong, then lo, the deal is off, bro." Er... wait, that's not in there? Harumph!
