contrary to popular belief I think UCC is a better fit than Universalist...I know some UR (Universalist Reconcilliationist) folks in the UCC and folks who dont believe in the trinity there. The UCC is widely diverse in regards to theological beliefs and views held

Get married in your pastor's office, you, your SO, a few witnesses...you're not doomed if you don't have a church wedding, but for most, having their pastor involved is important! Having a big fancy wedding is not the end all be all...me and hubby went downtown to the justice center, spent $60...

I got married after four years of dating, and I STRONGLY recommend that if you're not ready to marry within two years of dating, don't date! Our situation was pretty unique, God kept us through four years but for temptation sake, don't date four years. Start saving for a wedding NOW, and don't...

ahhh I see. My friends had a similar situation...their parents wanted the nice big wedding...so they paid for it! I hope to be able to do that for my kids someday...HOWEVER if they want to just elope and save money for bigger things (i.e. house, paying off school debt, etc) then I'm all for it...

nice that your parents paid for it! thats certainly a blessing! I actually wanted a wedding, so did my FH but neither of us can afford it...then people actually offered to chip in, but then the more ppl who chip in, the more who end up being invited to the wedding. It became much too stressful...

let's forget about divorce stats for a minute, because marriage is SERIOUSLY what you make of it. if you believe modern marriage is a scam, don't get married. it's quite that simple. That being said, as far as costs and weddings and all that are concerned...I've personally come to the...

I attend a different church from the one my father pastors. I knew it was time to leave when I began to question some of the things he did and why. Also, there were no young adults around my age beyond my two sisters and fellowship with people my age was VERY important. There was no bad feelings...

thanks everyone! we ended up going to a counselor I knew of for premarital counseling outside of the church...we started in April and we'll be done at the beginning of July...it's been a HUGE blessing and I'm SO glad we decided to go through it!

Going to Cleveland State University! Graduating May 15 :-)

Agreed! I do understand to a certain extent of why you would want to wait until you're out of college (my FH and I are waiting until I'm done with my bachelors this May and he's done with his associates this August) but we realized that waiting caused MUCH more stress. We mainly waited because...

I'm a communication major!!!!

me and my fiance' are both words of affirmation, my secondary one is quality time. makes things SOO much easier when you understand each other's language

so true... yeah our pastor (i guess based off of what he's seen and experienced in his own marriage, etc) wants to make sure couples are prepared for marriage so yeah, my church makes it pretty difficult to get married. It's almost as if the premarital process is designed to weed people...

hey you guys quick update on things...so we're still engaged and planning to marry this fall...it's been a LONG road and we have yet to go through premarital counseling...my fiance' and I both joined a new church together, within a year of each other (I joined first) and the premarital process...

I've had to deal with this wayy more than I'd like to. I say-go how God is leading you, thats what matters most-not parents. As much as we should honor our parents, honoring GOD comes FIRST! After two broken engagements due to outside pressure, my boyfriend & I decided to wait until I finish...

back to the original topic! LOL From how I was raised, the woman follows the man...so when the woman says I do, it means "I do submit to you, i do agree to follow you" Now, that doesn't necessarily mean join his church. It means he is the head of the relationship and you guys discuss it and he...

acting like you're married before you are...not the greatest thing! yes, some reasons for breaking up are silly. But marriage is a covenant, that says "look, we are not perfect, but we're going to work together and make things work unless someone cheats or some other crazy circumstance comes up...

I don't think I had five papers-well depends on the length of the papers, I just had alot of small 1-2 page assignments/summaries, etc...does your campus have a writing center/lab? Those are usually extremely helpful in helping u write papers!

I will say this...I go to secular school (well I'll say a public university), transferred from a two year community college to a four year university...and the whole partying thing depends on where you go...I go to school in an urban area, and there's a variety of ages at my school-quite a few...
