Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Salt Covenant?
During Old Testament times, agreements and promised were sealed by salt covenants. Each man would take a pinch of salt from his pouch
and place it in the pouch of the other. Their agreement could not be
broken unless they could each retrieve their own grains of salt. A
Marriage Salt Covenant does the same thing by asking the bride and
groom to combine their grains of salt. Their commitment to each
other can not be broken unless they can each retrieve their own
grains of salt. Since this is not possible it is a symbol of an
unbreakable covenant and promise of love.

Why do you use salt?
Salt is considered a pure substance. Many people believe salt to be a good luck symbol and consider it to be a the purest of all earthly
materials. It is used in many religious ceremonies as a symbol of
purity.
