    GOD never gives us more than we can handle. Are you still alive? Then make the most of what you have.

    I hope your life gets better.

    I believe in having GOD in your marriage. I'm getting the kids ready for church now. I pray to GOD every day. I thank HIM for all the things HE'S done for me, and the joy in my life. I've been truly blessed. I am a recovering alcoholic/addict, and GOD has given me a second chance. I was on the brink of overdosing due to the extreme pain I have been experiencing. But I'm still here, and it's because of GOD, and a great wife. And I know that in my heart. So no matter what some people here say. Their comments are what makes us a little stronger, and makes us more grateful to have HIM in our lives.

    Not concerned about "eternity". I'm concerned about being a good person now.

    Fear is only found outside the rest offered in Christ Jesus, The Begotten Son of God, The Word of God

    Hebrew 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
    Hebrew 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].


    Matthew 13:9 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

    Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

    Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
    Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

    Disagree, they were registered.. (AND Joseph himself never went to register until after the tax law was enforced)

    Keep in mind in those days women were betroth. What TP did they enter, What house was there to enter. What was told of Adam and Eve in OT?

    itsamor,
    The problems in your life are the result of what you chose to do or not do AND the same of others who were or are around you PLUS consequenses of this world.
    In some cases you can't do much about it but in others you can.
    Your attitude about God speaks volumes about your life.
    Most, but not all, people who believe in and worship God are much happier. That even includes people who live in counties where life to many is miserable.
    God gives us all His promise of a life after this one where there is no pain and suffering and no tears.
    All we need to do is believe, have faith, and do our best to live as He suggests through Jesus Christ our Lord and savior.
    It is also why God centered marriages are generally happier and long lasting compared to those that are not.
    Peace and kindness,
    Fred

    My brother!
    Think that everything written in the Bible starts with a wedding in Eden and ends with a wedding in Heaven.God's eternal purpose is a wedding,the wedding of His Son and The Bride.
    That's why God created us, to give His begotten Son a Bride in His image and in His likeness.
    Think of Adam.He named every living creature on earth but as he did that he realized that there is no one like him.So God out of Adam creates Eve and they in spite of being two person are no longer two but one!
    Now, think of God's begotten Son,The Word who made everything,and everything was made for Him according to Scripture,watching the whole creation until sixth day and realizing that there is no one like Him.
    And in that day He creates us in His image and in His likeness.Why?Because He wants a Bride just like Him. And through our faith in Him we are like Him.We are no longer two,but one!
    A marriage is something that God has established and what God's eternal purpose is.He is the founder of marriage, so marriage outside God cannot be!
    And do not think that marriage is simply two persons living for the rest of their lives together.That is not what God means by marriage, it goes much further than that!

    Dear All!

    I just hope and pray that those continuing on this thread realize that the thread was started with the intention of those answering from a Christian or Godly perspective.

    That is what you intended, wasn't it, Fred?

    If I'm incorrect, then you have my apology.

    Thanks!

    The credit goes to God through Lance Lambert and his teaching The eternal purpose of God.
    You can find his book and there are much more!

    Clough,
    Yes, You are correct.
    I am not on;y interested in what those who believe in God are thinking about marriages without God in them but also, hopefully, what their belief is in regard to why and how it ois important for God to be a part of each marriage.
    Peace and kindness,
    Fred

    Hi, Arcura!

    So, in recapitulation here, those that have a belief in God and/or a Christian belief in God are those after which you seek concerning people providing answers/responses on this thread.

    Would that be correct?

    I'm just seeking clarification here and not trying to debate anything. But, I'm sure that you already realize that. I just wanted to make things clear, here...

    Thanks!

    Clough,
    You are correct.
    It does appear though that there are SOME who believe in God but think Godless marriages are OK or even desirable.
    Hummmmm...

    What makes them Godless marriages .. I have asked you this before.

    I believe God is always present for all

    Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
