Subject: Is common law marriage acceptable |
Bible Note: Hello Always searching the word, My thoughts are that for a relationship to be considered a marriage before God and man, whatever ceremony is common to the culture and laws of the culture need to be followed. Even though the ceremony is officiated by man, we are told that "So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." Matt 19:6. Without a weeding two people are not considered to be married. DD4Truth |
