What God joins together, Let NO man separate!\nWhat God does! he does for eternity.\nIf a marriage is NOT ordained of God, it can still be Blessed by the HOLY GHOST. If the promise of the holy ghost is not given, though a man make vows, there is no marriage. \nit is written that a man who is unworthy will not be married and the wife who is faithfull can be given to another. If it is the will of God. \nTherefore God is Just \nand the judgments of God are surpreme

No I dont but the bible says a man and a woman are to leave thier families and become one with thier spouse. Always put him before any others and honor your marridge. Do not let anyone put preasure on your maridge and they had thier chance when you got married to speak or forever hold thier peace,,,perhaps you could remind them of that .....

Nothing given in the game of love is without effort. All things that bloom when love is present is due to the work of both parties. God may have blessed the union but it's up to the people to make good of that blessing.\n\nYou assume that God will make everything a OK without effort. That's quite a naive way to think.

Decide which church you want to have your servide in and then invite both the priest and the pastor to officiate.  The priest can give you a blessing.  As a graduate student I took as my research project the Pre-Cana marriage preparation course offerred by the Catholic Church for engaged couples and it is a solid, excellent program to sort out issues before they become difficulties after a couple is married.  Whatever church you eventually decide to settle in does not matter.  This Pre-Cana program will help you more than I can say and give you tools to deal with problems when they arise.  Peace and joy!

Generally premarital gifts are considered "conditional promises".  The gift was contingent upon the subsequent marriage. I think the ring donor will recover the gift if the marriage doesn't take place.  However, each state's laws are different, and there may be other circumstances that would allow you to keep the ring. For example, California law says that you may keep the ring if the marriage contract is breached by your fiance, with no fault on your part.  Your best bet is to speak with an attorney. Maybe one who specializes in family law.

:}\nassuming you are both believers,\nWe will be as the angels of God. \n\nNo new marriages will happen there, but a relationship even closer than you now experience with your husband will exist with all the redeemed believers.\n\nif this question relates to a recent or anticipated loss you can be sure he knows and cares\n\nOne of the most important things about g-ds character is that he is love and will always do what is right.\n\nG-d Bless

Yup. A lot of people exchange rings. In fact, most cultures exchange rings now! India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, etc. It's a widely practiced marriage rite now!

Of course they can -- it happens all the time.  It might have to be a civil ceremony if either the minister or rabbi prefer not to perform the ceremony.  Regardless of who performs it, the marriage is still recognized by all.\n\nMany Christian women convert to Judaism -- their children are born Jews just the same as any other Jew.  Many Christians seem to believe that Judaism has something to do with a bloodline.  Not true.\n.

those two signs are actually each others' marriage match... but hey, don't depend entirely on horoscopes... relationships are trial and error.

PUTU is right. Most of the times marriage alliance were actually political alliances. And As Kings were powerfull Priests Delared it to be OK for Kshatriyas.\n\nBut Ideal was alwys one wife only. Rama is respected for not marrying again under any circumstances. \n\nThe Hindu marriage ceremony it is one of the oaths that now you will not see other woman with this intent. \nnext vow is that you will give all your earning to her .\nand so on...\n\nOnly when you say yes to all that Bride says she will be your wife. If you brake your end of promise you really can not claim her faithfullness, if you look at it this way.

I have to agree with you. However I also believe the Goddess is equally loving.  I believe they both will help guide us if we look in the right places for the signs.  We can't sit back and say ok Gods take over.  We must attempt to make our lives better by treating each other with the same love they show us.  as well as much more!  BB Sdw

I imagine Diwali would cost alot of you have to exchange gifts of gold!\n\nKeep in mind that the secular celebration of christmas encourages us to spend a lot of money. The church does not, it encourages to spend time with the poor and give to people who are more needy than ourselves.\n\nIt is more blessed to give than to receive

I have found that some sects in Christianity have no problem with this type of ceremony.  I know that as my husband and I got married (he's catholic and I was raised jewish) that the Catholic Church would have no problem with us getting married and would request a neutral location and that clergy from both religions be allowed to preside. I think the 2 faiths are used to crossing over in some cases.

You should ask the bride and groom.

Yes, it is possible to have a successful interreligious marriage, if both partners are willing to accept those differences.  There will need to be a discussion about how the kids (should you have any) would be raised.  You may choose to bring them up in one tradition while teaching them about the other, or perhaps find some way to encorporate both into their lives.  I'm from such a marriage (Jewish father, Roman Catholic Christian mother) and while I was raised as a Christian, we also celebrated Jewish holidays like Hanukkah.\n\nAs for whether one partner should be made aware of the other's religion, absolutely!  Especially since the relationship is serious enough to be considering marriage, it's crucial to communicate about these kinds of details with your partner if the relationship is to be successful.  Withholding that information is not respectful of the other partner, as they should be aware of the faith of their partner when they marry him/her (particularly if marriage is viewed as a holy union).
