If you are in a relationship, THEN you are MARRIED

[SuperJujugirl]

I strongly believe what you feel is true as well. The good book already announces if you are having sex you are married to your partner. This is why Jesus asked Jezzibel why she had so many husbands. I just believe its more on the sex side of it. Now the law says if you are living together after so much time that makes it common law married. This is so true though Steven!

HuH???? Is that right... and that is the reason that people are doing the most... and if something happens that person god forbids she will not get a dime cause fake marriages don't count!!! So all they have is memories... FAKE marriages are not recognize by the government... woooow I have heard it all...

I disagree with you! Marriage is ordained in the Bible as it is viewed as a commitment between a female and a male under God's convenant! If you don't follow God's commandments where marriage is concern, then you are fooling yourself into believing something is something when it is not what it is. Eg. If you court a person for 2 years, 10 years, 30 years or even 50 years, by man's land and God's law "YOU ARE NOT MARRIED!" And God's word stand strong against any other law.

Any relationship that can end with "it's over" isn't strong. Why not make it legal if it's serious? The Bible urges people to follow the laws of the land...and it also says that if a man wants to get rid of his wife, he should give her a "writ of divorce." I have never heard of someone in a relationship who hands their soon to be ex a divorce letter. You test drive a car, not every potential spouse. Everyone has the power of choice though, but please don't misrepresent the Bible.

ignorance...

i agree that back in the day people didnt necessarily have a ceremony to be considered married..my own grandma didnt officially marry my grandfather bu they stayed together till he died and had twelve kids and they were i wanna say "socially married" because everyone considered them as such...not like nowadays where u just get w/ someone and have sex but theyre still ure "boyfriend" and "girlfriend"..im sure that if they were together nowadays they woulda gotten married officially.

[fliheboss]

my nigga! you said everything  i did after whatching that vid.

[jr543266]

You know what, I see EXACTLY what you are saying and you are 100% correct. A marriage CEREMONY is NOT a biblical marriage!

[jr543266]

Being that the divorce rate is 50%, why get married at all?

[mindyourbizok]

I disagree with you. Marriage is by law. Saying that you are married when there's no documentation is not accurate. Marriage is a committment before God and man and it's in the bible.

@mindyourbizok There is no point in correcting him through the Bible because he obviously does not believe in the Bible therefore his views come from the world. He needs Christ first before he can accepte anything biblical into his life, into his heart.

[msteecee317]

Because the devil continues to instill in this world his evil thoughts do we get to these views about premarital sex being ok, living together is ok, switching partners because you are not happy is ok, the bible says God hates divorce you can't get a divorce if you have not been married by the laws of the land. If you are not married by law YOU ARE SINGLE...don't teach our youth this nonsense it isn't fair to future families.

[vashtikk11]

@msteecee317 I totally agree with your posts. We should've been related. lol.

[msteecee317]

the bible God orders the man to love his wife as christ love the church and God also orders us to pay Ceasar what is owed to Ceasar meaning we must follow the rules of the land and marital vows are what has been designed for us to vow to each other a lifetime committment to this thing called life. You being with someone for years does not have any promise in it.

[msteecee317]

You say that the marital vows is not biblical that it is man-made so that means we don't need the vows to be married that is definitely your opinion and respectfully so; if a woman accepts your game so be it she can give herself to you without being an extension of you.

[tinajah04]

I do NOT agree with you at all. The ring is a sign of commitment. If a person is not ready to make that commitment before God, you are NOT married. Marriage is a lifetime commitment. If you so much love that person, then why don't u put a ring on their finger and let them know you're ready for a lifetime commitment. What you're talking about is a right now commitment, not LIFETIME. Don't be fooled ppl.

[ladymizvee]

I like this....when I'm committed, I ain't single.

[wehb1]

I also aree that couples spend at each others places but the shacking up thing isnt my forte.

[wehb1]

i agree when u say dat no relationship is a mistake and that you should really get to know that person.
