What is a biblical marriage?Posted : 17 Aug, 2015 11:55 AMDo you have to get married in a church by a priest/pastor with a marriage license to have a biblically valid marriage? What are the requirements for "being married" in the bible? |

What is a biblical marriage?Posted : 21 Aug, 2015 06:10 AMExactly. I think it's pretty amazing how we as Christians/protestants still are tainted with the traditions of the catholic church. We have to have our marriages "authorized" by some kind of church/state alliance, officiated by a priest/pastor and legalized by the government, when the bible has no such requirements anywhere. I think it's healthy for a marriage commitment to be witnessed and endorsed by family/church/community, but I just chaff under the idea that it must be done a certain way or it doesn't count. And I'd also like to complain against the sexist wedding industry that tells a woman that if she doesn't have a royal white wedding, then her marriage is worthless and her husband doesn't love her, and she can complain and fester for the rest of their married life that she never got "her" day. Arrogant pagan virgin purity rituals. Sorry if you like weddings. Rant over. |
