St Paul said love is patient, it is never rude or selfish it doesn’t takes offence
In the letter St Paul to the Ephesians he advised the Colossians and the Corinthians to avoid immorality and also to use our bodies for gods glory, every man should have his own wife and every woman should have his own husband and that they should deny themselves to each other.
When people get married they have to go thought these special process for example the signing of the register is to show that people want to make there marriage legal, like a legal document showing that they want to spend there live together.
They also have to take special vows which when they get married, and are promises which they make to each other the vows are sacred. In today’s times people don’t really take the vows seriously, and should by then realize how important the vows are.
There is also the exchanging of rings, the rings which a couple give to each other are circular so they mean they do not have a begging or an end, they are symbols of love for each, they show love for each other, the ring is circular to show these no end to love and that it lasts for ever and never ends.
And finally there is a blessing given to them by the priest, which underlines that there husband’s love for his wife.
When people say marriage is permanent it means it is for life long and they have to stay together forever, so all this means you have to stay together until you die! Marriage is meant to exclusive, that means you must not commit adultery, basically they must can have no other partner can be involved in there relationship.
When they speak of life giving, that means your life is your partners they will have children and hopefully, and you give your whole life to partner. And also when people say marriage is permanent it means what it says, they should stay together forever and until you die. In marks gospel Jesus said that it was so unchangeable that mosses wrote this commandment for you, but from the beginning of creation. But from the begging of creation god made them male and female, this is why a man should leave his mother and father to show the people that are one, on one’s body.
In Matthews gospel Jesus said to any one who divorces his wife must give written notice to his wife, but now he says that if a man divorces his wife of any cause he is also to guilty of cominyng adultery.
Today over 30% of marriages end in divorce, there are many factors, which may cause a divorce, here a few
To day we are living in high finance and high information era so there may be conflicts between couples as they might not be able to mortgage or buy there own home all this leads to tension and anger between the couple also a lack of communication, the copupl3 can be too busy for each other and as a consequence they might never be around to talk to each other people might also find it hard expressing there felling for each other. The other factor is the media; sometimes couples look towards the press as a guideline to their marraige, so they might get upset when they don’t find it actually works out like does in the press. Another reason factor is if you marry a young girl/boy this could be difficult because the younger member of the relationship might still have a lot physical or mental charges to do, they may not be the same person when they are 25 as they were be for.
And another factor could he the arrival of children this may bring stress on a relationship as the couple might have to move or money troubles can also bring strain to a relationship. And they might not be able to cope.
I do agree with divorce, even though Jesus said it was a sin, I think that times have changed sine the time Jesus was around, back then there wasn’t the strain on life there is now. I have stated in previous text if Jesus experienced this lifetime he would then realize it is very hard to keep a marriage going, in a way I can understand why people do get divorced. I do think there is a time for a major change in the Catholic Church as the rules are now to be classed as old fashioned, I recon the rules should be changed to meet today’s society.
I do think the Catholic Church could make a few changes to the rule to apply with the today’s times, and I also believe that divorce should be aloud in extreme circumstances.
If Jesus was around today I think he would stick to what he said before, but I think he would be willing to make sum changes, to apply with modern times I think for him to make this dission it would be hard for him but I think if he went over all the rules he has made he would find some curtain areas such as the life expectancy as people tend to live longer then they did in the old times. Also he must consider how modern life puts strain on a marriage for an example I will use children, when people have children they can cause strain on marriages they produce change in couples lifestyles. So I think he would be willing to make changes in major circumstances.
The teaching is kind of out of date times have changed and as every body changes, I think so should the church and do think hey should keep the basic base line for the rules of marriage but they should integrate fair and still traditional changes.
In most cases I don’t fink the rules of Jesus last forever because people don’t take into account there life they still have to lead ahead of them, people don’t seem to realize marriage is until they die, and that means saying with the person for the rest of there life.
Marriage is about two peoples love for each other marriage is a commitment and love and trust for each other, marriage shows the people around them their feelings for each other.
