Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.
Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings are attached.
Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.
Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.
Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.
Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.
Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.
Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "rings":
* The Engagement Ring
* The Wedding Ring
* The Suffe-Ring
* The Endu-Ring

Still, always the eternal optimist.
What you have described is:
Commitment;
Joy in music;
Faith as you walk after things not seen;
The critical balance of roles within marriage;
Diligence in a Godly work ethic;
Sharing the good times and supporting each other in the bad times;
Intention,
follow-through,
and two of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Since this is in the Senior Citizen section, I would think that seniors should live together. Someone posting previously mentioned Social Security checks. That, and the matter of inheritance. I think any sensible seniors would not get married, that way each one's estate would go to the kids they had when they were married before.
It would weed out gold diggers, and yet still give each other the companionship they want.

ha! You did make me laugh! I lived with my hubby 10 years before we got married. I'd been married before and boy, was that a disaster. The guy turned into an overbearing, controlling monster and the divorce was dragged out and costly! I don't get where living together is a sin. Marriage cerificates are "sold" to people who may not love each other, do it for financial gain, for insecurity reasons, for fame, because they were drunk, etc.. I knew a girl who was 16, got pregnant by 46 yr. old. He was arrested, later released. She was emancipated, the two legally married. How sick is that? I do believe alot of women wipe the floor clean when they divorce their husbands leaving them penniless. But for me, I was left trying to take care of three tiny kids with no money, no car, and no electricity for a whole day in the middle of winter!

ROFLOL......thank you for the humor and the 2 points. You made my day.
Now to the question....living in sin to me would be living with another when you are married to someone else. Now if two single or divorced people live together, it's their choice and no one outside of the living situation is hurt...therefore not a sin as long as the two are living in harmony. Marriage is a choice and being married, I have no regrets. However, it may not be a good choice for most. BTW, we lived together for quite a while before we made the choice.

he's been attempting to break up for 7 years? you have been residing with him for 7 years? constructive if he has been seperated and residing with somebody different than his spouse for *7* years....it extremely is grounds for divorce...constructive, if it had in common terms been three hundred and sixty 5 days it would probs be granted. i don't be attentive to approximately 'sin' yet it extremely is reason adequate for a divorce. How is his spouse being complicated? After 7 yrs of separation, it extremely is approximately time for each man or woman to get a clean slate.

I have lived in sin 21 years so far. Marriage is a set of laws they don't work for me.

LOL Very cute. I'd still get married though, it's got a lot of good points too. I think the person who wrote this might have just gone through a divorce.

What a bleak look at marriage. The person who came up with this list should never marry again. :(
