Bible Question (short): Is common law marriage acceptable |
Question (full): I want to know how God sees marriage. Is common law marriage biblically acceptable if all other requirements are met other than a ceremony with a license, i.e. the marriage is between one man and one woman, they are both Christians? This is a subject that has come up in Bible study and we can't seem to find a definitive, scriptural answer. Glad for any help. |
