Christian Marriage in the 21st Century

Christian marriage

 Times have definitely changed. In the previous generation, chaperoned meetings, group outings and short engagements of 3-6 months was how it was done. Nowadays, with the standard of living at an all-time high, couples need longer to save up not only for the wedding but the life that comes after!

It’s fair to say that the majority of young people my age, outside the church, are not taking the step of marriage these days. There are many contributing factors for this; the main one is expense. Why spend huge sums of money on one day when it could go towards a deposit for a house, luxury holidays or even the shopping trip of a lifetime? Maybe it is not fashionable any more or it’s seen as a day just to please family and friends but what is the real meaning of marriage for the modern woman?

The vows contain four promises: care, protect, honesty and time. Yes, marriage is a legal formality of the joining of assets and the lead up to the wedding can be stressful, but the sacred bond that is formed when the couple are standing at the altar, hand in hand, vowing to each other before God and their loved ones, in my opinion is a step that should not be taken lightly or overlooked.

Some girls have been planning their wedding since they were children, dressing up and daydreaming about being the princess in the fairy tales. It’s easy to get carried away with the day and forget the point of the wedding – marriage! With the media broadcasting marriages and relationships among celebrities that barely last a week it’s easy to see why young people today would think marriage is trivial.

But marriage is ordained by God and Mark 10:8-9 says “And they twain (two) shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder (separate)”. Marriage is not just the wedding day. Far from it!! The life that comes after is about compromise so two individuals can endure the bad times along with the good and live in harmony as one. And as God is love, love MUST be the foundation of a marriage for it to be a success. As Corinthians 13:8 says “charity (love) never faileth…”

EU BAN AND PETITION

TO SAFEGUARD YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS, HEALTH CHOICE, NATURAL FOODS, CULTURAL HERITAGE & THE ENVIRONMENT.

After APRIL 2011, we will witness one of the greatest infringements ever experienced on our human rights, democractic freedoms & health choice.

We will no longer have the freedom-to-choose ‘natural health products’ or the right-to-decide what we wish to eat, drink or medicate - to responsibly manage our own health.

WHY?

Thousands of beneficial ‘natural  foods, herbs, products & supplements, many proven ’safe & effective’ for centuries and still commonly used (to combat serious illness or to maintain overall health)… will be BANNED and removed from stores. Plus the potency of those that remain, will be so drastically reduced, they will be virtually ineffective.

To make matters worse, the majority of health products, cultural foods & practices from non-European countries (such as Caribbean, Asia, Africa and others) will also be BANNED from entering the UK and European Markets. In addition, centuries of ancient wisdom, spiritual beliefs and faiths will be written out of the history books and lost to future generations.This wil affect absolutely everyone throughout the country, (including health practitioners, therapists, plus the majority of ’small health’ businesses will be forced to close)… resulting in an unprecedented threat to our health, lives & livelihoods, as we know it today.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

To avoid any opposition, the Government (including cross-party leaders/members) secretly approved EU legislations behind closed doors (in 2004), to deliberately keep YOU and the entire UK population in the dark. ‘The Nation Speaks’ petition exposes the shocking secrets they didn’t want you to know.

‘We believe if half the population says ‘NO!’ the Government will have ‘no choice’ but to stop this process. It is therefore extremely important for all of us to WAKE UP together on a massive scale, sign this petition and spread the word (far and wide). We truly believe this will secure YOU and your loved-ones. We are also calling on everyone to download and circulate our powerful appeal to the Queen, from the Joining Hands in Health website.’

WHAT CAN YOU DO? - You can choose to…

(a) DO NOTHING and leave your life in the hands of a Government who care neither for you, your family, business or the nation’s welfare, and who will continue to lie and outlaw everything you hold sacred.

(b) STAND UP AND BE COUNTED: SIGN this important petition TODAY and be part of over 35 million UK citizens ‘making history’, by actively safeguarding the future for generations to come.

Remember this is

YOUR LIFE, YOUR WORLD,

YOUR CHOICE.

So please… Do TODAY what your children will be unable to do TOMORROW and leave a lasting legacy that we will all be proud of.

THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS to stop this!
