I don't know anyone who relys on a god for important decisions in their life so they don't devote any time and careful consideration into those tasks.
I don't. But I know many people who would consider asking God to be a large part of the "careful consideration" part. In fact, I know people who only got married because they did, indeed, feel that God had blessed their union, and would not have gotten married otherwise.
Now, I'm sure a lot of their feelings were internally motivated, but that doesn't lessen the fact that they believe they were essentially told to get married.
