We all know that in the bible its says it is a sin to have s*x before Marriage. And the Bible does not give specific details about marriage ceremony, yet it does mention weddings in several places. Jesus attended a wedding in John 2. So how is marriage related to God?. Is marriage that whole ceremony that you or your family member spends thousand of dollars. Is it the paper that makes it "legal" to spend your whole life with the person you love most? Lot of people of different religions get married, whether or not they believe in God. So what is Marriage? It is just something that is harder to walk away from because of the legal bond vs a live-in partnership? What do you think God views as marriage? Does the paper count? What do you think?

marriage is a part of Gods commandment.it is also written in the bible how a man should his wife and so does the wife to his husband.though it is not written that the family should spend lots of money in order to be married or to celebrate the union of two people.God included marriage on his commandment to prohibit people from adultery.He has given us guidelines on how to live a married life according to His will.in 1corinthians7:6-7 says,let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her and likewise also the wife to her husband.the wife does not have the authority over her own body,but the husband does.and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body but the wife does.

I can say that marriage is important that every woman and man wanted in their life. I Strongly believe also that marriage is not an assurance that your relation would last forever if the couple doesn't work out that relation after marriage. Sometimes many of us we can easily I want to get married in that guy or lady i really love her or him. What is marriage anyway. Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children. Marriage is the foundry for social order, the fountain of virtue and the foundation for eternal exaltation. Marriage has been divinely designated as an eternal and everlasting covenant. Marriage is sanctified when it is cherished and honored in holiness. That union is not merely between husband and wife, it embraces a partnership with God.

I could never agree more! very well said. Marriage doesn't need to be extravagant. And in a marriage, God should be in the center of the relatioship. A union without God is empty and doomed to destruction.

Hi! I am a follower of Jesus Christ. And marriage is a lifetime union between a man and a woman in love. It is sacred and God honors the vow between a man and a woman to be together as long as they live. Marriage symbolizes what kind of relationship God wants to build between Him and His people; that is to be their GOd, to have a close relationship and fellowship with His people. God loves the people he created and His motive of creating us is to love us and for us to worship Him in spirit and in truth, not through the images created by man. Worship is our response to His love and faithfulness to us. :D

In the tradition, couples should get married for them to be blessed by God. Marriage is a ceremony that tells a couple they submit their selves to each other and should face their entire life with commitment with each other. I myself is not wishing for a very extravagant wedding . A simple celebration that will announce us as husband and wife and we are legal is the most important thing.

Im my own point of view since im in a catholic i do believe in the sanctity of GOD, i do believe those relationship that is bound by GOD will work more well.But i am not against any other belief i do respect also those relationship like live-in its depends on both couple once they are agreeing upon, as long as the relationship is good what more is i think far important.

Hi hl! In most of the religions when marriage is solemnized, it is done in front of the God. So it is assumed that you tied the knot in the presence of the God and He was witness to it. For treating a marriage as 'legal', there are different provisions in different religions and their related Acts and most of the people follow it.

if believe and value religion then you're aware that extra marital s*x is adultery. and adultery is one form of sin. for me, marriage is not about the ceremony or legal paper; it's more on the "blessing that we receive on the altar" that we're united by God. I think that is what count to God.
