My husband and I believe we are married, but we have no 'contract'.
We have been married for almost two years. We said our vows in a prayer during worshipping our Father and since then we feel heart and soul that we have been bonded. Before then, we read the bible and prayed over and over and looked for signs from God to see if He approves. So far, we do not nor have not felt any response that was against our marriage at all. Things in fact have been rather positive.
I do not care as to whether or not people from Church approves. I am looking for Gods approval, not theirs. Is there anything in the Bible that could possibly explain if marriage has to be a signed contract with the government in order to be considered married in Gods eyes?
My husband believes that it is more expensive to sign papers; taxes, insurance wise...And we both feel that it is silly to have to justify to the government as to why I am sharing my money and belongings with this person. But still, we plan to sign papers once out of college.
If it happens to be that this is false, and God does not approve, we will either go ahead and either sign or wait until the cheap insurance rates run out and sign then. Things are just REALLY REALLY tight.
I know some if this might sound contradicting, but its just a very long and confusing story, so I am trying to shorten it. Thank you for your help.
