Married
I think marriage is a deeper subject than we understand it to be in God's mind.
Ephesians 5 kind of speaks on the mystery of it.

I am married, have only been married once, and have been married to the same woman for 33 years. Marriage is a union which should be made by God and is to last till death. Divorce is allowable but only after rigorous attempts at reconciliation.

I have been married once, for over 30 years, to a very patient lady. I say patient because it isn't easy being married to a career military man [plus I can be a knothead at times].
My views on marriage come from the Bible - one time (unless there is adultery, forsaking all others, both are believers, etc.

My answer is a little tricky. I've been married twice, both times to the same wife. I was originally married in a civil ceremony, making me legally married. After my confirmation as a Catholic, I was married again to my wife, this time in the church, thus making me spiritually married. As my uncle (who married his wife twice in a similar but slightly different manner) said "I love her so much I married her twice."
My belief about marriage: a permanent commitment to the man or women you love is an important element in living a happy life. With all of life's uncertainties, I've been very fortunate to find the love of my life, and I always know she'll love me, and I'll love her, until death parts us.

One time only and our beliefs, are to stick it out and it always ends in Happiness. The grass is not greener on the other side. Many temptations come along, but then I always remember the Handsome guy, I fell in total Love with and that is why I feel all married people should always remain FAITHFULL .

First marriage, going on 20 years. Our religious beliefs about marriage definitely helped us stay together during the early years.

Married and divorced twice. I was abusive the first time, was the victim the second. What goes around... I think marriage is the government's way of sticking their fat hands on a thinner wallet. I know a couple who've had to divorce because of medical bills affecting the husband's credit-so it's all a $$ thing. And as for premarital sex-it's vital. You don't want to be like I was- inflamed with passion, only to marry the girl after waiting to have sex only to find out she was the worst lover I've ever had. Ride the donkey before you buy an ***...

Been married once and for 25 years. I don't believe in divorce except for extreme cases. I also believe that Christians should never marry outside of their religion.

I was married once and found the state to be unnatural to the max. When she ran off with a third rate musician I was both upset and relieved. The relieved side won out which my dad says is the more sane.
