When you are not married in the church.. why does the catholic church said that

No where will you find in the Bible (Non Catholic Bible) their bible has been revised to say what they want not what God intended. The first marriage was performed by God between Adam and Eve. God was their creator and their father. Did not see any Catholic church or priest there. God blessed it not some man in some man made religion. Read your bible get a good old King James Version or if able Geneva version before that. God made marriage not man. He says it is better to marry than to burn. It is good if the parents give their blessings and approval but this is not the place of any church. God said what he has joined together let NO MAN put asunder. Mark ; 10:9 Now this has to do with being truly committed and both husband and wife loving and respecting one another as God jntended read Eph. 5. Men are to love their wives as their own bodies. What real man would abuse or harm his own body. That is how he is to treat a wife and she is to honor and respect him and love him. She is to submit to him as she would Christ and Christ would NEVER hurt someone he deeply loves he would take the blows for them as he did for all humanity. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ would his church. So if someone is abusive in the marriage in any way this is a person you need to get away from because they lied and committed fraud. They are not loving you. Any church who holds a couple to stay married in an abusive marriage is not God's church and is not serving God. The Catholics have no God given right to demand this. They do not follow God's word. But instead follow the traditions and doctrines of men and their rules. As do many other churches. Not all but many are more self serving not serving God or his will or purpose or his word on marriage. So NO you do NOT need some so called Church to bless you marriage nor to dissolve it. Though the Catholic church might not let you attend services and excommonicate you. Say good riddance and get out your bible and with prayer ask God to show you via his Holy Spirt the real truth of marriage and his blessings.

Church wedding is require in every catholic because this is one of the important in 7 sacraments of catholic religion. Being one of these religion we need to have the 7 sacraments and the very first is Baptism, confirmation, married, confession and so on i forgot the others. So that is why somebody said that but church wedding is not require a big amount. Some parishes offer a free matrimonial wedding or others are sponsored by organizations civic and non civic.. To have a bid wedding is just in mind of us because of thinking that this celebration is once in a lifetime so, need to be well prepared. But if the couple really like to get married with less expenses try to contact the parish or other church organization like Couples for Christ. And many more.. just believe in love and getting married be the first priority between [the two of you who are in love with the intention to get married. I believe that God is blessed those who are really love each other faithfully. Married or not married and this is my belief..

I think it is important to be married in the Church. Why it has to be church? Because it is a sacred place and a solemn one where we can really feel the presence of God. It may not be blessed when we wed at city mayors, but the church should have to wait for the couple to have money to be able to pay for the funds they will be asking. Marriage need not have to be expensive, we can do it simple where only the close family relative can be invited. Also there are so many free mass wedding these days, couple can simple register and be wed like that. Matrimony is after all one of the sacraments of God.

It is true that marriage not happened in the church had not blessed by God. However its acceptable unless its solemnized by the authorized officer of marriage. Sad to say chiyosan that there's a church requires payment for marriage and maybe the reason that many couple are not holding their marriage in the church. But nevertheless happen in the church where I belong. All couple that are willing and capable and have complete documents that they have right to be married will be scheduled by the authorized solemnizing officer and solemnized in the church without any payment, have entourage or nothing. Because living in without marriage is an unpleasant boldness towards our community, our parents and most of all to our God.

I am a former Catholic and that Church doesn't even make sense to me. The way I see it is that they want your money. Why on earth would you have to pay them just to get married. It is the same thing here where I live. Now we know from where they get all those nice and big tall building from. Yep, that's right from our money. At least they are not getting my money. The Catholic church is full of it.

Truly, catholic church as well as some people will said that couple will not be blessed by God if they are not into church wedding. It has been quoted like that because I think, we are a Christian country and we are a believer and follower of God. But for me whatever wedding ceremony you may chose the important thing is your relationship as a couple. Your love and respect with each other is very important to have a peaceful relationship.

The Roman Church has invented a lot of dogmas that run contrary to scripture all the best urban

You have answered your own question. or in another words, like the popular song is saying: "it's all about the money, it`s all about the dum dum duh dee dum dum..". in the other hand, the church need to maintain herself, but it depend on how much emphasis she puts upon money. and thank you for the information, it`s always nice to learn new things. good day.

I think the religious significance of marriage is acknowledges less nowadays, so many of the people who marry outside of church probably care less about being married in the eyes of god and more about being married in the eyes of the law. For a non religious person like me this is all well and good, and there are also certain couples who may need to marry out of church, such as interfaith couples and homosexual couples. On the otherhand, i do think that people who marry for religious reasons should not have to pay so much to get married in their place of worship as i feel this cheapens the religious and sentimental meaning behind the venue. Birdie -

For me as long as you follow the right rules and terms then you ca married anywhere you want. If it is too difficult it will make more unmarried couples and that is much more worst.

The Catholic church is saying that because it is their teaching that marriage in church is what is acceptable to the religion. Honestly, my husband and i were married in civil rites before we finally get married in church. During the time when we weren't married in church yet, there was a guilty feeling in me. So, even in a very simple church wedding we got married. After the church wedding, it's as if a chip of block in my mind and heart was lifted. Church wedding need not be expensive. Ours , was a very simple one attended by the family and closest relatives and friends.

I live with my partner since 5 years and I believ that God blessed us by giving us the opportunity to love each other. We don't have to be married to be happy. By the way in your post there is an answer for your question. Money. This is only because of money. I wish you nice day. I have to say that you posted very interesting topics :)

more people prefer to be married in church because they do not only received the sacrament legally but they do receive it religiously. Countries with most number of catholic always pay huge attention on this matter.

Does that mean that if the marriage was not done inside the church and not officiated by a priest, God would not be bestow any blessing on it? Well, how about those marriages inside the catholic churches, officiated by priest, but are now destroyed by divorce and separation? Where did the blessing went in these marriages? From the bible's viewpoint, a marriage can be "honorable" if such was able to comply with scriptural and state requirements.

It is something related to belief, I guess. But it is versatile here in our country. Personally I am afraid that I am not quite in favor of the saying that you won't be blessed without getting married in the church. It depends on the couple who choose the form of getting married. Anyone getting married is supposed to be blessed by people around them. I agree with your opinion, chiyosan. Good luck and have a good day.

To receive god's blessing in a marriage is for the marriage to be acknowledged by God. That does not mean that it has to be in a church or done by a priest. Before religion was organized people vowed their love and betrothal holding hands and looking to the skies. The only reason they say that, especially in the area of Catholicism is due to an unreal greed present in the church. Churches want your money to vow your love government wants your money to vow your love. That is greed and nothing more.
