Question about marriage

[Tadhg]

I'm an ex practicing Catholic I got married in a Catholic Church we read out vows that where giving to us. Now here's my question if you came to believe by reading the bible that the Catholic Church wasn't for you and you joined the baptist church would you be still married . I know by law we are but under the law of God I question!

Absolutely, you would most definitely still be married. The bond/union between husband and wife is between the two of them and God (and technically the State, legally)...not a particular denomination or church body.

Yes but if your wife is catholic or identifies with catholicism it would mean you unequally yoked. As long as you can remain married and be at peace with each other its fine but if she wishes to leave she can at any time.

I say this because she may be catholic by tradition and not actually a born again believer. (In Jesus). But it may be she comes to faith and start worshipping in spirit and in truth by your example.

Hi tadhg,

I agree with 98. All the ceremony and pomp and circumstance of a marriage and the state licensing requirements really have nothing to do with the validity of a marriage as God seems to define marriage.

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted

They MAY be unequally yoked. Just because the woman is Catholic doesn't mean she isn't a believer.

To the OP, yes, you're married in the eyes of the Baptist denomination.

My wife wasn't a practicing catholic.
I was the practicing catholic at the time . Now we both are christ believers and attend a Baptist Church. We are still madly in love with eachother not looking to get out of our marriage! !!!!. I was just asking that question out of curiosity!

Thats good, well of course you married, I just thought it was a strange question to ask.

You can always renew your vows in a baptist ceremony of you want to. I dont know how different a catholic ceremony is from a baptist church one.

I think it does not matter under which circumstances people are married, and it also does not matter who they are been before or after marriage, because GOD created woman for man and they shall become one flesh joined together in marriage, which was made long before any Law came to existence.

So this means that the Law of marriage is UNIVERSAL and applies to whole humankind without any exception, because it is a Covenant not only between man and a woman but also between GOD and humankind.

So breaking the marriage means breaking not only Covenant of Marriage between man and a woman, but also GOD’S Covenant of Marriage.

So all people, no matter who they are, religious or not, would bare their own consequences for violating the Covenant of Marriage while are both parties still alive.
