I am not sure if someone made this thread before, I really really hope not because I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about what I wrote. What is your view on marriage?

Because I am Christian I belief marriage is an example of Christ and his love the church. Everytime you get married that is what you are showing. Everytime you get a divorce it compares with when a Christian seperates from God to worship an idol or other God. In Christianity a woman submits to her husband as Lord "It's not like what it sounds like, I promise you" which is what the Christian body does to towards God, we call God Lord. Lord means to serve under someone's will and/or obedience. That is the one reasons Christians live by the Bible because it's helps lead us to God's will for our lifes. With marriage I belief the one-ess of Christ and the church and becoming one body is where sex comes in. In Christianity sex before marriage or to have several partners is a bit of a mockery of the example of Christ and a church.

I would love to hear what you guys have to say! smile

Discuss:
What do you think marriage is?
Will you get married?
Do you belief marriage is required before you loose your virginity?

Nicely put statement of your own beliefs.
I'm not allowed to get married where I live, unfortunately.

can I ask you why??

Surely you can guess. It's not very difficult.

[MysticalBunny]

Hmm, well it's ok if you disagree with me. Just wondering what your views are on marriage.

I forgot to add. You are saying Christianity is crap? Because what I said is what we Christians belief.. It's a big part.

I see your new edit. In Christianity it does need to be between a man and a woman, yes.

I belief marriage is an example of Christ and his love the church.

I believe that the verb referring to one's belief has a V in it.

Beyond that, I believe that crap like this accounts for quite a lot of the divorce you see. The fact is that marriage is a pact, a patnership between two individuals to share their lives. It's not an example of Christ's anything, unless you're willing to concede that he was married himself. And even then, that does not change the fact that when two people marry, they must do it with respect to one another and to their own needs and wants, not because of some ideal mythological example.

Marriage is a partnership in the real world, not simply a ceremony conducted in church.

EDIT: Notice I didn't at any point say marriage has anything to do with one's gender or that of their partner. Just a thought.

Christianity does not have the monopoly on marriage.

No, I am not too sure I agree with you that are the people that divorces. For one is not right in Christianity to have a divorce unless for "certain reasons" in the first place like adultery or if you are unequally yoked. But yes, there are some Christians that do get divorces, I do have to say but it's not supposed to be.

What is your beliefs on life though? Do you have a religion? You seem to be against many things, like heaven.

In Christianity the Bible says that when we die we won't be married. In heaven we "Will" be married to Jesus. The Church will be married to Christ. smile

And again, I think that basing a real-life scenario on some mythological castle in the sky is nothing short of sheer stupidity. The people who do that are the ones who finally divorce, or are just miserable for the rest of their lives. Marriage is A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, at least it is in this realm. If you want to hold off on it until you reach your happy hunting grounds, have a ball. That's your choice.

I'm sure you disagree with me, and I'm aware that it's not "right" to divorce in Christianity. Do you think that means it doesn't happen?

And do I have a religion? Religion is a man-made construct, designed to intimidate and control. I have faith and spirituality, and further than that is not, to be honest, any of your business. I apologize if that sounds rude, but it's quite true. One's faith is a deeply personal thing, not something to be advertised and paraded like a cheap brand name -- and, by the way, Jesus is behind me on that, as I'm sure you're well aware if you've read the bible.

However, for the third and last time, marriage is an agreement made in THIS realm between two individuals. It is a practical and emotional matter. If you choose to bring religion into your relationship when you grow up, you certainly may choose to do so. As I said, it is a personal, private thing. You do what you want with it. But if you cannot enter into a marriage on practical and emotional terms agreeable to both parties, then no matter how you parade your religion around, you're doomed to failure.

Now, I've got errands to run and some housecleaning to do, so I'll just wish you well.

I know but it would be nice to have that marriage recognized in your own country, y'know? Someday, we keep plugging away. It'll be one state at a time until the rest just give up and join the 21st century.

My view is marriage has very little to do with religion. It has everything to do with being a partnership. I also think that marriage built on religion when the two parties do not agree to a partnership, will most likely fall apart. If one person in the partnership believes that they are better then the other, then eventually the one who "submits" will get hurt.

Marriage can have just as much or just as little religion in it as the couple want. I don't imagine the Pope performs weddings but if you could get him to solemnize your vows, go for it. However, remember to sign the paperwork and mail it in, because if you don't even a blessing from good old Benedict XVI isn't going to make you married in the eyes of the government here in the States. And that's the central point. Marriage is a secular institution now, whether you like it or not.

[hachimitsugirl]

It's undoubtably rare that one will happen across a person with whom they're compatible enough to create a lasting union. Most people will try with someone who's less than ideal and either end up making it work somehow or divorcing.

Marriage in itself is not a goal and should never be treated as such. The goal should be simply finding a good mate and sticking with them, legally binding or not.

[MysticalBunny]

Well, it's not right for me to lie or covet "want something that isn't mine" but sometimes I do mess up. So, yes I do understand that it dos happen.

I don't belief Christianity is a relgion. It's a personal relationship with God. No, totally not rude I didn't need to know more about your faith. I only asked to see where you stand to avoid unecessary questions. smile

Thanks for stating what you believe. I am not pushing you to tell you to belief in what I posted. Just wondering on what you guys believe marriage is. You do understand that what you just said though about marriage is your belief, your truth? I'd say it's a man-made concept or maybe politically correct. Someone originally came to belief that is what marriage is and ideas spread towards others to define marriage that way. Whenever anyone says something as if it's a fact "especially like this when it's hard to be proven" they are saying "That is true". Relgion does the same thing, religion is just different because it includes worshipping.

In Christianity husbands are commanded to love their wifes. They are commanded to treat them better than they treat their own bodies. You see what causes the woman that is submitting to have problems is when the husband fails in his part.

I believe marriage is unnatural, and makes as little sense as religion itself. Animals do not naturally evolve to mate for life ,and over 90% of known species will not choose a permanent partner. Furthermore, it is my belief that all of life in general is completely random, and there are no "higher beings" whatsoever.
