About Marriage and Stuff, you Hear ... and see.
In recent days, several church members have asked me about what we Christians can say about the debate opened several years ago, of the same-sex marriage. Why is it not tried in the Bible? That question, motivated me to make this small study

It is not a submission by the power of the genre, but by the power of the love.
I have seen that when one loves, to serve is not a duty or an obligation, but it is a joy.

I end with the passage of 1 Peter 3.7. Note that as one treats his wife, and how one express his love for her, opens the gates of heaven. I do not know why God did this in that way, but He is sovereign and I only obey. When there are problems at home, prayers do not reach God. God is telling us, "solve your problems, be humble, recognize your faults, ask me for forgiveness, forgive, then, I will listen about their needs"

I agree with Reeves first two points. I disagree with his idea that there is a lack of marriageable men. I believe that marriage has simply changed over the years and conformed to the 21st century and the ideas of our society today.…

In comparison, the article “The Religious People Who Give Us Hope,” by Stevie St. John, displays several religious leaders supporting the LGBT community by sharing the true nature of God. Both “Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy” and “The Religious People Who Give Us Hope for Religion” make evident of the unconditional love and acceptance of God that is freely given to all His children.…

    Today is a great day! I am going to have an interview with Mrs. Studer, and then go back to Nigeria to celebrate my one year anniversary of marriage to Beneatha. I’m so glad; I finally persuaded Beneatha to come to Africa, and she dumped George Murchison. Even though her family was not too proud of her leaving, she left with ease, as if she was finally liberated. Even though she always argued with Walter Lee, he threatened that if I ever hurt her in anyway, I’d be “dead meat.”…

    The concept of marriage is understandably as varied as the number of religions that approach it. Yet, one similarity found among all the major world religions is that marriage is held “as a vital and valuable institution and practice that lies at the heart of the family and at the foundation of a broader society.” Marriage as an institution holds great weight within religions, upon which devotees can construct families in the image of their given deity/deities. How the institution does that, and what it means within the context of the social structure, varies considerably from one religion to another.…
