1 | Is marriage when you sign a paper ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Pris | 68678 | ||
My fiance believes that we are considered married, just because we said a prayer unto GOD that we are married,which he says that it is only between us and GOD. Also he believes that we are now allowed to have sex. I think I need lots of help. Confused.... | ||||||
2 | Is marriage when you sign a paper ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 68679 | ||
Pris, Your fiancee is manipulating you to get what he wants without making any real committment on his own part. It is that simple. He may even be fooling himslf on this, but he knows what he is after. Being married is very like being pregnant, either you are or you are not. Being considered pregnant is not a reality, being pregnant is. If there are men on this forum who thinks your fiancee is being honest I would like to hear from them. And let's see if any man here with a daughter would tell his daughter to believe that line if she was being told the same thing. Chances are slim and none. And Slim probably just left town on a train. " A Man shall cleave to his wife." not his fiancee. Tell your fiancee that short of a special revelation from God you will wait for the real deal when he commits himself to you in front of witnesses in God's house. Emmaus |

Pris, Marriage is certainly a committment between two people BEFORE God, but the question that comes to mind, as Emmaus is also asking..Does your fiance want to keep your 'marriage' a secret? Or is he simply afraid of the legal implications? Your level of committment may be much greater than his..and time and actions show the character of a person, not words. Without the legal obligation you are looking at 'blind faith'. In our culture this would be very blind faith because our culture is imoral and committments are relative (I will stay married o you only as long as it is pleasing to me). His committment to you will only be as strong as his committment to God, and without the legal binding agreement, he can walk away with no responsibility. Our judicial system is no longer based on moral law therefore without being legally marrried he can walk away leaving you with baby, and with a lot of shame. Am I clear? In the old days the laws were established for men by God's law..In our country God's law does not rule, and we are subject to the laws of our land. If he does not legally marry you, he is free to go and leave you uncared for. Emmaus is probably correct..this man is trying to manipulate you and use you, or else he has serious committment issues, otherwise it would not be an issue. Until you marry and allow him to become your 'head' talk to your current spiritual head (authority) which is your father and if not your father..your pastor. God bless, |
