I agree with lot people on here. Marriage is a matter of the heart, not a legal document. Although the document helps the government and businesses etc identify who is married. Also Jesus apparently had no issue with weddings or the way marriages begun. His first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding.
Amen...well said. If we get a revelation of how Christ is towards us - how He remains faithful no matter what. We would not be having divorces and if the other party did divorce - the life of Christ in us would stick to being faithful in the midst of unfaithfulness.
The other side of this is IMO - not everyone sees this life of Christ in us in that manner and thus there is grace for those that have chosen a different path. There is a better life and it is found only in Christ's life being manifested in us.
If others have divorced and married others - then move on in the state we are in and learn of Christ in us and walk on in Him. There is no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. We are all learning how to live from the life of Christ that is in us.
I grew up believing marriage was the union of a man and a women to procreate children and in this process love making took place.
Now in my late 60’s a grandfather several times over, without a wife to comfort me;
Is it a sin to want the comfort of a women that is not your wife?
Is sex and love making one and the same?

when I say it's a matter of the heart. It's when you choose to be with a certain person for life. You make promises to each other and to God. To love, cherish, respect, honor etc.
Now as far as intimacy goes no one is supposed to practice that outside of marriage (before making vows to be with them and them only). That's my thoughts at least...
