The Christian marriage is a carefully constructed form of relationship, in form as wel as in theological content. I photographed about 30 young christian orthodox couples. Some of them are just married (max 1 year) and some are going to be married soon. Besides I photographed the marriage courses most of them attended. A marriage course is arranged by the church to teach the young couples about the meaning of the marriage, about love, about having kids and sex.

      In addition to the photo series I made a film about a young protestant orthodox couple who would marry in 8 months, the moment that the house would be built. For them it is common to marry when you have the key of your new house. Unmarried couples are should not sleep in one bed, according to their faith.
