That's why the Law allowed divorce, because man was incapable of keeping his word, and that's why so many divorce today ... because man is incapable of keeping his word.

Ok. Its a little bit ambitious to say 'we' when its only my opinion. Sorry.

Did you know... That when you have your wedding via registary...(not in a church) They forbid you to have any music or reference to YHWH....

"Oh just to let you know.. It can't have anything to do with god..."

me: "lol.... What doesn't have something to do with god?"

I have thought about this and developed a sort of theory.

Man and Woman both make up characteristics of God that the other does not have. Man is the logical thinker while the woman is the emotional giver. So when the two form a union under God they become one flesh or make up a whole of the image of God that we are created with. I believe that when we receive our new bodies that we will be whole within ourselves because we will be as Christ is. I believe Jesus on earth was the sum of both parts which allowed him to feel so thoroughly during His ministry while He was able to think and reason logically.

Anyways I don’t know this for fact this is something that I just entertained during one of my fanciful moments.

Deffo not true Alex. I've been to plenty of registry office weddings and they INVARIABLY have had music.

Usually bad music, IMO

I shall tell my partner this, fs, to see if she agrees. I'll probably tell her from a safe distance though!

Ok maybe I should rephrase and say most men are logical thinkers :P

Unlike women who can use both sides of their brain at any given moment, man (physically) can not. That is fact. We either use logic, or use emotion, but we can not do both simultaneously.

The advantage is that man can become a machine, then go to pieces later. The advantage for women is that they can balance the two at any moment.

That's why moms are better at rearing kids, than dads, but dads are better at raising adults than moms...

I'll also point out that girls and boys get their cues from dad, when it comes to marriage. In other words, girls look at dads and from their determine what kind of man they will marry. Boys look at dads and from their, determine just how they will treat their wives...

Both will look at mom and determine, how a child should be nurtured and raised from infancy.

Dear Alex,

In reponse to your enquiry, the Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Approved
Premises) Regulations 2005 governs marriage at an Approved Premise in England and Wales.

Schedule 2, Section 11 states as follows :

" 11. (1) Any proceedings conducted on approved premises shall not be religious in nature.
(2) In particular, the proceedings shall not—

(a) include extracts from an authorised religious marriage service or from sacred religious texts;
(b) be led by a minister of religion or other religious leader;
(c) involve a religious ritual or series of rituals;
(d) include hymns or other religious chants; or,
(e) include any form of worship.

(3) But the proceedings may include readings, songs, or music that contain an incidental reference to a god or deity in an essentially non-religious context.

(4) For this purpose any material used by way of introduction to, in any interval between parts of, or by way of conclusion to the proceedings shall be treated as forming part of the proceedings."

I hope this information provides a satisfactory response to your enquiry.

What on earth would be incidental reference to a God in a non-religious way??

Who established this "fact"?

I thought that was very interesting. The word translated as 'Rib' in the English is usually translated 'side', so you could say that Eve was made from half of Adam possibly. Sometimes I think the reason we were made into two parts is in Ecclesisastes 3:18, but I don't know about that.

Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.
