What is married?

Question

Let me give you two senerios - both true

C&B have been together for 7 years. They have two children together and have lived together for 5 years. They are totally committed one another, their children are being raised by both parents who love and adore both of them. They are getting legally married in 2007.
~~~~~
J&R have been legally married for almost 20 years. They got married because they got preggers. The majority of these have been spent fighting and hating one another. Their children have grown up with mom raising them and Dad sitting in front of a TV or out in the garage. Mom goes out with the girls, Dad goes and plays pool with the guys.

Which one of them are married in the eyes of God?

Jim Darwin - you crack me up.

Answer 1

The Truth is out there.

Answer 2

I believe that marriage is a condition of the heart. I do not believe that a piece of paper tells you that you are married, or a ceremony. Your heart and soul tells you. If you are totally committed to the individual that is really all that matters. People can be married on paper and not really be married in their heart.

Answer 3

I didnt get married to my older childrens father
if i had then i would have married someone who turned out to be a secret gambler and alchoholic

i am now married to my babies dad ... but i only got married after years of work and getting to know each other

Answer 4

I'd say C&B, but that's just me. Even if they never got married, they'd still be committed, which is the true reality of marriage, not a piece of paper that says they are.

Answer 5

i would presume the bitter couple because they made a sacred vow unto god they are choosing to both keep before god
meaning that they swore before god they are really trying to keep it ,not for thier own sake but for gods
i dont know or judge others
will god see they have served god and not thier selves
who stays in hell of freechoice
it is hard to believe they would if it were really as bad as reported,
there must be other reasons
some cant have commitment to each other so long as it is not put before god ,it could be said they lack true commitment in the long run .so thier peace is a faulse peace derived at by avoiding commitment and also lacking faith in god
god dosnt judge but children seeing love but no commitment commit neither to anything
im just being difficult there are no sins for god ,marrage or non marrage it is the true love ,regardless of commitment ,by our deeds be revealed or by our deeds be revealed ,
it matters for me nought what god feels ,god feels love ,judging not ,god sees the marrage by its fruits if the fruit is good its a good marrage
if the fruit of the union is bad its not a true union
man demands marrage ,god demands nothing ,but love freely given ,commitment if freely given
why are you putting this before men to judge god knows what is in your heart ,if in your heart you feel it it is allready known by god,marrage is to put it before man
your marrage will be blessed ,but you fullfill your own blessings,god just makes it better,

Answer 6

Neither, there is no god.
