What is more important getting married or being married in a church. My mother in law yesterday said she did not reconize my marriage with her son because we aren't married in the church. I just wanted to scream. I don't believe thier is a difference between the two. Am I wrong? Or is this women going crazy.

It's me again. I'm still whirling over this one. I would like to see where in the Bible this is backed up. Can anyone share any insight as to specific scripture dealing with marriage? If you go all the way back to Adam and Eve, not only were they married in the wilderness (Garden of Eden), but they were also naked. This can be found in Genesis 2.

I have to admit that I am still stewing but getting better about it. Do you want to know the kicker. I come home today from work. Miss perfect never got married in a church to her second husband. Boy I can't wait to visit again. LOL

Your mother-in-law needs to go back to church and listen more carefully. Remember that it is God's recognition of this union, not mankind's, that makes it a real marriage. Where on earth did she come up with an idea like that?

the woman is crazy you should tell her that she doesnt have to recognize it just as long as she respects it i didnt get married in a church but that doesnt mean we are not married i have the paper that says we are and thats all i need

I have no clue what is wrong with her but I kept my mouth shut till we got in the car and my husband asked if I was ok. I just looked at him and said she got married in the church and how did that work for her. He just looked at me and said guess not. It really got under my skin

That is just ridiculous! I was married in a church in1991 and we ended in divorce because my husband turned abusive! I got remarried in 1998 to my current husband outside on the courthouse lawn with the JP and we are happy as can be. marriage is just a piece of paper...the words used in the ceremonies are practically the same. We still had the bible verses at our wedding and everything. Did your JP or preacher or whatever say "shall no man put asunder?" if so, tell her that...why didn't she speak up then? you are married and it doesn't matter who did it or where. It is yours and your husband's life, not hers.

We actually were going to get married in a church but decided against it. We want to just fly off and get married. We talked to both of our parents and they seemed fine with it. So we went to las vegas and got married in a chapel. It was great. Everybody got to watch it on a web cam that wanted to. My husband is just as mad as I am.

Your stepmom is a closed-minded biyatch! First of all, you don't need her recognition to be happy with your husband. Second, who cares, you recognize you two got married and you shold be happy with that. Do me a favor and please don't get a divorce in a year, don't be a statistic! Bwah!

Although the comment bothered me. I would never leave my husband he is good man and we both love each other and know what we have within each other. At the end of the day that is all that really matters.
