Subject: ARE WE MARIED |
Bible Note: Wiley - I visited England. Does that make me an English citizen? I visited Harvard University campus. Does that make me a Harvard graduate? Years ago I dated a young lady named Dottie and we came to love one another. Did that make us married? No, it did not! But on September 13, 1959 we were joined together as husband and wife in holy matrimony in a wedding ceremony conducted by the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in a small college town in Arkansas. We were thus married and have a legal marriage license to prove it. What legal document do you and Pat have? ..... Friend, you and the girl are no more married than you were before you walked into that church buillding and stood at the altar and said whatever it was you said to each other in private. Not one time since September 13, 1959 has either Dottie or I felt any reason whatever to ask the question you have asked of this Forum: "Are we married?" If you love this girl and she loves you and both of you wish to live together as husband and wife till death parts you, what then is your problem and what your excuse? Do the honorable thing: make a commitment; get married; and stop playing silly games by profaning what is sacred. --Hank |
