The "real" purpose of marriage could be this......?

Question

Do you think the purpose of marriage is really for 2 people to come together to serve god then love each other?

Why do couples fail to put god in their marriage?

People think that they can hold it together on their own.

There are even people who say they are in a good marriage but dont know that their spouse is cheating on them.

I think this is interesting after thinking about it

Answer 1

I think our society has completely changed the true meaning of marriage. In the catholic church marriage is a union between the

bride, the groom, and god. And if you cheat on your partner you

are also cheating on god. I think today's couples find it hard to be in a marriage period and thats why so many end in divorce.

Answer 2

a couple that prays together stays together...

just don't eat McDonald's

hey i like Ronald just look at me

Answer 3

I have enough people in my marriage as it is. I have absolutely no interest in making invisible space aliens, imaginary genocidal maniacs and dead rabbis full partners in it. There's quite enough bickering as it is, thank you.

A marriage is about the people in it, and ONLY the people in it. They need to respect each other for who they are, individually, together. And we hold it together just fine without inventing imaginary angry thunder gods, who would only serve to obscure us from the real each other, and to impose bullshit external expectations on us that would have nothing whatsoever to do with us as individual people in a relationship together.

Answer 4

Could be...for some...but not all.

"God" leaves me alone, I return the favor

It is like why look at each other constantly for attention and affection and other false things (that may or may not actually exist) when there is one person who can fix your situation, yourself!

Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce!

BTW - Played the game as a Catholic for many years, and I did "try". Been married over 20 years...still going strong...without your "God" being involved.  So, nice try, thanks for playing.

Answer 5

I think most couples forget to research each other's spirituality before getting married...When I got married I thought that my wife was a baptist and believed in God...come to find out I was all wrong and she turned out to be Paegan and believed in nature and witchcraft and such...I really do believe that a marriage is to serve God and love each other. Couples fail to put God in their marriage because they are too worried about other things. Somethings just aren't meant to be and are part of God's will....such as marriages without Him in it...
