There was no religious ceremony connected with marriage among us, while on the other hand the relation between man and woman was regarded as in itself mysterious and holy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that in the historic and religious nature, marriage is between a man and a woman.
The institution of marriage works better when there's a spiritual connection. If you're marrying just for the sake of the woman, then you may lose interest in each other very soon. When we marry in the interest of the Holy Spirit with the intention of serving God and humanity, then it gives a much larger perspective.
It is essential that God created men and women to be one, as it is said in the first chapters of the Bible. So I think even if our culture is against marriage as essential form of relations between human beings, between women and men. I think our nature is always present, and we can understand it if we will understand it.
To me, marriage is partly a religious thing and I'm not religious.
Marriage, like everything else in the world, is holy or unholy depending on the purpose the mind ascribes to it.
The marriage of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution, honored in all cultures and by every religious faith. It's in this institution that children are meant to be nurtured. We know this after thousands of years of human experience.
Thousands of years and many civilizations have defined a marriage as the union between one man and one woman. With few exceptions, those civilizations that did not follow that perished.
You either believe marriage and human sexuality are sacred, or you do not.
Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.
The Bible is clear - God's definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.
