What is your view on marriege? Is it the same a taking a woman to wife?

That is the real meaning. "To stick together." or ''the process of
sticking together" certificate or no certificate. Certificate having
been invented by humans after Bible times, and Churches telling The
Creator to aprove it and sign on the dotted line.

Certificate or Marriege License is just a way to tax love.

I thinking "taking" a woman for a wife, and marriage are one in the
same.

the wedding is just away as you said to tax a love, a man and a woman
know that they are coupled when they feel the love between them. the
rest of it is just symantics.

doc

if you have to have a contract to keep them there

do you really want them there

maybe without the contract you will try harder to
treat your partner better if you don't hold the
cost of leaving over their head

marriage is what yourrelationship develops into
not a piece of paper issued by the govt.

just a thought

but hey what do i know


posted as a response in another thread
put it belongs here

some may argue that the marriage is just the issue of a document, and it
does not have anything to with love; I belive this is true. However, due
to my faith I believe that the only witness that can seal a marriage is
God. Therefore, if you live with a woman without a marriage through a
church (whatever denomination you choose) you are not husband and wife.
You are juat a man living with a woman.
My opinion I respect any other points of view, I may not agree though

Perhaps this is why in most of the books called holy by many sex before
is considered forbidden.

Because if you have sex you have taken the woman as you would a wife.

and for the ladies if you have sex you have taken the man as you would a
husband.

mr walker

very nicely put

and even tho i have a differnt view than you

i respect you right to view it as you do

have a on me

AB with all due respect to you i disagree.

i respect urs ADJ4U, we are just human beings, our brains are so
different from each other. Therefore, each of our opinions are different
from each other.

well adventure

if you read the book literaly

sexis the costitution of marriage

and if you keep onto the one you are with
then all is good in the marriage

but if you have sex with another
then still you have comiited audultry

whether you have a piece of paper or not

but hey what do i know

In today society that piece of paper can help with getting health
insurance, auto insurance, and other things at a cheaper rate the when
you apply as single. You are able to get health insurance through your
spouse's company which may mean saving a lot. The deductible then are
the family rate instead of 2 individual deductibles. Even social
security has a death benefit of $250 for when your spouse dies to help
paid for the funeral. There are many benefits for having that piece of
paper. It makes things gained while together community property here in
Louisiana, we go by Napoleonic Code. It also gives you the rights to
make decisions when the other partner can't not for their well being. So
there are some good points to that piece of paper. It may not be right
for every couple.

I have always like the Apostle Paul's version. "It is better to marry
than to burn." I got married and got burned.

1 Corinthians 7:8,9 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is
good for them if they abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry
than to burn.

those 3 lil words never cost me so much to say YOUR HONOR>>>I
DONT!!!

just say no

"However, due
to my faith I believe that the only witness that can seal a marriage is
God."


I agree with thisstatement one hundred thousand percent walker. GOD is
the only one that can witness, and seal a marriage. That beign said
though, why do you HAVE to go through church to get married? Do yo
believe god isonly with you, or looking over your shulder and
approving/dissaproving of you while you are in church?
My personal opinion here (and it is why I ahev been asked to leave a
roman catholic service before as well as a southern baptists, lol)is
thatChurch is nothing more than an organization dedicated to worship.
The "church" is not gods home, his/her home is inyour heart and soul,
not a building and definitely not in an organization. Now this does
notmean I dislke church; I go every sunday as much as I can, I
participate with the choir, and my kids go to vbs everysummer when they
can. HOWEVER, I do not feel you need to have church in order to know
god, and have god in your life. And if thats the case, then you dont
need church in order to have god bless your marriage. HE does that all
on his own.

marrige has its benefites when you have a famly that your man has his
kids and you got yours. When you get married they are all protected by
law no matter what happens to any of the parents. But if you arent
married and you didnt right in your will that your kids go to your
spouse well social sevices or a other family member has all the rights.

thats nothappening as much as it used to hot; oh I know it still
happens, but states are getting better about saying, look mom thought
this guy was good enough to marry and raise my kids while I was here,
then we should follow her wishes and let him continue raising them even
f she is not here anymore.
Just like states are gettting better about custody issues due to
divorce. It is a slow process but it IS getting better.
