OK!... How do I know whether I am Married? - 04/20/09 02:03 PM
I've watched the advise leveled by MB posters. On of them is to get divorced then remarry when WS is ready to return.
Not that easy... we will look at that in another post.
This post is for Christian's and Jews and any who would like to examine Christian teachings.... All Christian comment is very welcome. These are MY observations with input from various books I have read.
Men who marry sisters, aunt, wife of father, wife of brother - marry dishonorably. There is a curse on these folk.
ENGAGEMENTS:
If a man asks a woman to marry and she says "Yes" - they are betrothed. This is exactly the same as married but without physical contact. A Christians Yes or No means just that. (See Matt1:19 -Joseph wanted to divorce his fiance, Mary)
It is my understanding that folk do not understand the concept of engagement and commend themselves towards the preparation of marriage without commitment until the church ceremony.
This process must be made clear to marriage participants before they commit themselves.
Please note: The parties must declare whether they are virgins before they get married. If the woman was found to be defiled before sleeping together -the groom may declare that the marriage is ready for divorce. (See Deut22:13-Marriage violations)
The next part is about a couple -when they should NOT be married.
