KnightofChrist Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 This statement is false. Yes, your statement is false.
KnightofChrist Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 It's like that and like this and like that and uh. It's like this and like that and like this and uh.
Norseman82 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Because of my so called "commercial attitude" towards relationships and because I would be willing to end the marriage for reasons other than abuse or abandonment (I don't remember if abandonment was the 2nd one, but I remember there being two reasons that are "legitimate" in the church's eyes). If it started looking anything like the relationship between my parents, yeah...... Emphasis on the words "so called". Every decision we make can be reduced to a "so called" commercial attitude - in fact, St. Paul says in 1 Cor. that if there is no resurrection, then our faith is in vain. On the other hand...... Your statement about being willing to end a marriage is of concern. Although the Church can tolerate civil divorce if necessary to protect legal rights (see CCC 2383), that does not mean you can remarry nor does it guarantee an annulment. In additon to what Jesus and St. Paul taught about divorce, read the section on divorce in the CCC 2382-2386. However, based on what you have posted in the past, you appear to be identifying those things that may cause you stress in a marriage and avoiding potential spouses that may cause you such stress. So don't let anyone use "fuzzy theology" in an effort to lay a guilt trip on you in order to try to bully you into marrying someone incompatible.

Anastasia13 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Why get married? Because being alone is lonely, depressing and unfulfilling, married life is the opposite I thought this thread was about premarital sex affecting marriage rates. I want to get married to be with and grow old with someone I love and share a little family with.
Semper Catholic Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I thought this thread was about premarital sex affecting marriage rates. I want to get married to be with and grow old with someone I love and share a little family with. Yep exactly. Add's reasons for marriage are mostly selfish, "I want a family" "I don't want to be alone"
Norseman82 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Yep exactly. Add's reasons for marriage are mostly selfish, "I want a family" "I don't want to be alone" You said you were engaged, right? What are your reasons for getting married?
Perigrina Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Why get married? Because God has called one to be married.
Semper Catholic Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 You said you were engaged, right? What are your reasons for getting married? 1. Because I'm amazeballs in love with this girl 2. She feels the same way for some reason 3. Her cooking skills are incredible.

Norseman82 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 1. Because I'm amazeballs in love with this girl 2. She feels the same way for some reason 3. Her cooking skills are incredible. I seriously have dreams about some of the food she makes So, wanting a family is selfish, but marrying someone for her cooking skills isn't? Besides, it was God who said that it was not good for man to be alone, so if anything the Bible supports add's position.
add Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Yep exactly. Add's reasons for marriage are mostly selfish, "I want a family" "I don't want to be alone" Semper, Each spouse in a marriage gives up some rights over his or her life in exchange for rights over the life of the other spouse. if you think that is selfish, you don't understand the concept.
