It does not guarantee that this is what people will do. Nevertheless, it gives people something at which to aim.<br /><br />The real question for the present is whether marriage has such a 'gold standard' or whether it is something which we can control and adapt at a (sociological) whim. If that is the case, then marriage can, in the end, be anything we like, and we can live as we want without fear of repercussions or retribution. That, of course, has always been a popular point of view.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590979027426082714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-7672022797571257512012-05-13T23:00:35.979+01:002012-05-13T23:00:35.979+01:00John,

In that, you are to be commended.<br /> <br />Nevertheless, I would like to ask a question.<br />Civil marriages in registry offices have been in force since 1837. In such ceremonies, no reference may be made to God or to spiritual values. Nonconformist marriage ceremonies do not necessarily employ a liturgy (like my church in our marriage) and therefore do not make procreation a prime purpose but rather that God is invited to become part and parcel of the marriage.<br /><br />Would you say that therefore such marriages are NOT “holy matrimony” in the true sense of the word? For myself, I can say that the lack of liturgy has made no difference to the length of time we have been married to one another (now 46 years), nor to the fact that we owe a debt of gratitude to God for keeping it that way, despite many reasons for it being otherwise. Experience also tells me that many civil marriages are long-lasting and stable despite lack of liturgy or reference to God.<br /><br />I am also interested in family history. In my research, it was fairly common to find that couples became married to each other once there was proof of a baby on the way. This would tend to give the lie to the statement that sex only featured in the lives of married couples. Clearly no man wanted to marry a woman that was not capable of bearing children – but also, clearly, sex was not restricted to marriage.<br /><br />Beryl Polden,<br />WirralAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-31412587340629001152012-05-13T08:13:56.252+01:002012-05-13T08:13:56.252+01:00Excellent sermon - thank you, John.
