I ask this because I am not a holy roller by any means but my fiance' and I have been together for 10 years,engaged for 7... so anyways we have both given ourselvs to the Lord,an it seems that what seemed so hard before my faith was established to do, is now just amazing...within 2 months a wedding was planned and Jesus seems like he is rewarding us for being faithful by putting every thing right in order for us... i hope that this does not offend anyone... like I always say it does not matter what religion or denomination you may be --- just as long as you get to know Jesus as "you" understand him..amen please let me know what you think.. thanks

Religion is the centerpiece of every marriage.
It is the one thing, beyond all others, that 2 people can focus on, agree on, and strive for. By putting Him first, the couple will share a common path their entire lives.

If your religion is important to you it should definatly be included in the wedding but the centerpoint of a wedding should be the commitment you are making to each other. Also I am not very religious and would be uncomfortable if the ceremony was too "over the top" with the religion.

Religion is a very touchy subject....I am happy to hear that you are putting Our Lord at the center of your coming marriage!
Many people will laugh at you or say you're dumb...Don't listen to them.
My grandmother used to say that "A true marriage has three people in it: the husband, the wife, and God to hold them together through it all." God is love and goodness.
A marriage is a serious thing. People who think that God's presence and love are useless or unnecessary are the ones who fail miserably...and children are the innocent victims.
I hope you are happy together- and that your belief in Jesus as Lord and Saviour will help you overcome problems and hard times. God bless you and the best of luck ! Congratulations!

Absolutely! When I was married 30 years ago, the minister told us that marriage is not a partnership but it is a three way deal It should include you, your spouse and the Lord. If you can always remember that when things get tough, and include the Lord in all of your decisions you will make the right choices. Good luck on your marriage.

As a Christian I do believe Jesus should be the centerpoint of your wedding. You want to establish that foundation in order for your relationship to continue to be blessed.

If this is what you want then that is the way to go, noone is going to look at you any differently either way you go. Most couples do want Jesus named as a big part of their special day and their lives together(hint that is why we do it inside a church) The amount of emphasis you use in refering to your faith in him is up to the two of you and your minister. Talk to your minister together and he or she will help you find a comfortable position for all of you! Congratulations and the best of luck to both of you....just remember to always keep him in your heart and the two of you will be able to withstand anything!

Every couple must find its own solution, to what extent Jesus and God will be part of the wedding ceremony. That's just one day, a day, on which the families of bride and groom should come together.
More important seems to me the part God and Jesus play in everyday life of the couple, after the wedding and maybe already before, during engagement.

If it is a reflection of your life and your love yes. Just remember to include the practical application of His teachings. The ceremony can't be about an abstract Jesus that lives outside the context of your marriage. Living the teachings of Christ, not judging one another, both people making sacrifices for love, protecting the sanctity of the sacred covenant of marriage....
Perhaps when writing your vows the question of "How do a husband and wife emulate the behavior of Christ towards one another for a lifetime?" might be a template to start with

Although you may share your faith, I think the center-point of your wedding should be your love for one another. Your wedding shouldn't be about Jesus, and if you let it be you may find you have mistaken a shared faith for the kind of love you need to get married.
Its very nice that the wedding is falling into place, but I think you need to ask what the problem was before and whether following a belief system together may just be a matter of having found something to share.
What you've said doesn't offend me, and I don't wish to offend you, but I think you need to focus on the two of you.

It should, He should also be the centerpoint of a relationship. He is the centerpoint of your life and should also be in your union together. You are His children and He wants to be a part of this event! He gives his blessings in many ways, and it does sound like he is blessing the both of you. Congrats!
