Answer 1

Lots of questions!! With all of those questions and the wording of those questions, I have to wonder if you are asking us to do homework for you???

1. How has your understanding of the wird LOVE changed since your wedding day?
I realize now that love is not an emotion. Instead, it's about putting your partner's needs above your own. It's about commitment and being there for the other person...for better or for worse, richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do we part.

Learning the significance of those vows and how they are binding before God, means that my husband and I feel divorce is not an option. That means we must work things out.

2. What meaning of the word LOVE is the love most important in your marriage? Please explain.
True marital love is about commitment to one another.

3. Catholic theology says that true married love is based on each parner's free-will decision to work for the good of the other and for good of the marriage. What do you thinkk of that? Can you give an example?

An example is when one of the spouses returns to school and the other one works extra hours to pick up the missing parts for the other person.

4. On your wedding day you have an idea that if things did not work out you could split?

In the back of my mind I did think this. But as I matured, I realized that we made a vow before God. The minister just officiated. God is who joined us together. That means that we entered into a contract before God. And for my husband and I, that means we stay together.

5. Catholic theology says that marriage is a voocation, a calling from G-d. What do you think of that? Please give an example.
This is similar to protestant theology. Not everyone is called to be married (it's in the New Testament). YOu should pray about your spouse and make sure you choose wisely. Otherwise, the marriage will not work out.

6. Contemporary Catholic theology now emphasizes that marriage is less like a "legal contact" and more like "G-d's covenant with humanity" in which G-d promised permanent love. How does that fit with your marriage? Give an example.

Again, it's not about romantic love. It's about a sacrificial commitment where you put another person's needs above your own.

Answer 2

After 45 years of marriage to the same woman, love has not changed a bit. We loved each other and worked together to make it happen. Sure, a few bumps in the road but no one said it would be easy. Love is the key to all feeling. We must love one another and then everything else just naturally falls into place. Read John 3:16 and you will know about love.

Answer 3

1. It hasn't.

2. That their happiness is your happiness.

3. I don't think in those terms. We're building a life together, our well-being is tied to the whole as well as our individual happiness.

4. Not as such... but if things became abusive or intolerable, that's a different story. There's a big difference between that and a few things that can be worked out.

5. We're both atheists (of a Taoist bent) so our marriage is based on us wanting to build a life together, no deity involved, thank you.

6. WE don't punish each other eternally for mistakes, nor our children. I'd say our love far outshines that of the vindictive deity of which you speak. We actually have unconditional love here.

7. Must be talking about us. We have discussions and disagreements, but not we don't fight.

8. Fight nice and be prepared to be wrong.

9. Love means you don't have to be afraid to say you're sorry, and you don't need to play power games.

10. Negotiation and diplomacy.

11. No, and no, because we're not religious.

12. No priests are involved in our marriage. We're monogamous.

13. Whatever.

14. Love, honor, and negotiate. You must be equal partners, you must be able to reason with each other. You must be willing to compromise, to ask for what you want, and to say things nicely.

Answer 4

My wife and I have been married for 26 yrs. My understanding of the word Love has not changed in all that time. However we are not catholic we are Baptist. In all this time together I have never thought of divorce once but homicide has came to mind many times. Not really , but if I come give you any answer ( For the men never take yourself to seriously). And above love your wife, when you get up in the morning, when you lay down at night. And women the advice I give you is the same that the women at our Church gave my wife all those many years ago( forgive him,He's a man)

Answer 5

I'll answer the first 6 since they come up right now.

1. I've realized love is something that grows stronger with time

2. Friendship- you can't have a relationship unless you are friends.

3. We each work for the marraige- meaning we are willing to comprimise and also pick up the slack if the other needs time. We take care of each other. Like after my mom died, my husband took care of things financially for a while.

4. I wasn't thinking about splitting on that day

5. I don't think we were called to get married. I think we just clicked.

6. It doesn't really apply since we don't really believe in God. But our love does help our experiences with humanity.

Answer 9

#1. No. It has changed. It has gotten better since we have God in our lives.
#2. The meaning of the word love to me is better explained with scripture. In the Bible, it says;

Ephesians 5
1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them.
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."

15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Wives and Husbands
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

#3. A family who pray's together, stay's together.
(Need I say more?)

#4. I don't believe in divorce under any circumstance unless they commit adultery.

Exodus 20:14
"You shall not commit adultery.

Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

#5. I'm guessing that you meant vocation.
I believe that.
When I first laid eyes on my husband, God told me
that he was the one for me. I knew that he'd be the father of my child(ren). I seen my future with him at first sight. I knew that God put us both there at the same place at the same time, because after we met, we got to talking and it turned out that we both were supposed to be somewhere else. He said the same about me. He asked me to marry him one month later.
There were many signs.
Our birthdays are only three days apart.
We worked in the same building in the past, but never crossed paths. We would go to the same deli for lunch and missed eachother by a few minutes. How we finally crossed paths, only God knows.
Even our parents knew eachother back in highschool.

#6. I think that fits fine in my marriage too.
It all goes back to Ephesians 5;22-33 - Wives and Husbands
