The sanctity of Marriage.
Ok Honestly i really didn't get what is meant by the sanctity of marriage. From that section, i learned that marriage is a way of becoming holy, but it didn't really say why. People don't really see it as holy because when we hear that word we automaticaly think about priests and nuns.
Our vocation is what God calls us to do. For some of us, it is marriage. God may not call us to serve as a priest or nun. He may call us to marry and help him raise his children.
I always thought the idea of meeting your loved one in heaven was sweet. I never thought about whether or not you'd still be married when you get there. But in the article it says that the sacrament is no longer there. It's kinda depressing, but atleast the love is still there right?
Marriage. I guess we should get married because it is a sacrament. And you wouldn't be alone. You should live your life the way God intended....To LOve.
SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE
I think that this is the ability to get married,have children,and still be able to practice your faith and not forgetting about who you are. I think that sanctity of marriage is the ability to try and be perfect as our father even if we are married and have children.
I didn't really understand this part of the BLOG!
In my personal opinion I would have to say that marriage is truly a vocation. I think that it would fall under specific vocation. I think that some of us are meant to be married and others are meant to do other things for the Father such as becoming a priest or a nun. I think that marriage is a path that God makes for some of us but at the same time we have to do what we can in the relationship to carry out our marriage so that it lasts for a long time. I think that when your married you also have to do your part in making sure that your religious life among your family is strong.
I think that marriage is considered a sacrament because it is something that we are promising to do for god.For example when we receive confirmation we are saying that after the all the years we've been through with God we are saying that we are ready for the next step we confirm to the Father that we are truly ready as young adults to defend our faith. I think that marriage is pretty similar but in this case it's like your combining your knowledge with a women's knowledge and together you make children and try to teach them what you both know and what you belive God wants you to do.
I would say that we won't still be married in heaven. I think that once you are at the seat of the father everything will be taken care of I think that we will indeed all be angels.I don't think that there is a need to stay married if you are in the kingdom of the Father.
I think that we should get married if we truly want to make that commitment.I think that by getting married you have the ability to see how strong your faith is and how well you can carry out the intentions of God!
The santity of marriage is the holyness and our connection with God. By marrying in the eyes of God, we not only bond ourselves together as husband and wife, but as a married couple in God's eyes. This bond us closer to God.
Marriage is a vocation because it is apart of fulfilling the sacrament of Matrimony. This is holy and is apart of our church's guide to fully living the Catholic way.
It is considered a sacrament because like I said, it bonds us together and also with God. This also provides the basis for how to live in God's eyes.
In the article, it says that we wont still be married when we get to heaven which, like Nikki said its pretty depressing and I dont necessarily agree with that, but...I probably just dont fully understand it.
We should get married because it is what GOd intended us to do. TO marry and have children and raise them in a good manner so that they will do the same and fully live out our lives.
In my opinion, I think sanctity of marriage is about the holiness of getting married. We are brought up in a society where the most holy people are the pope, priests and nuns. But we need to remember that getting married does not mean you cannot be holy or be saints. Getting married is one way of becoming holy. God will not stop you from being holy if you want to be one. But you cannot use marriage as another reason why you shouldn’t be one.
Marriage is a vocation. We get married because that is what God wants us to do. He wants us to get married and live the true purpose of marriage: for two people souls to become one and to be fruitful and multiply. By saying so, marriage is a sacrament. We share this sacrament to God, especially. God plays a big part in a marriage. The vows that we say in our wedding are our promise to that person and to God.
Are we still married when we get to heaven? According to the article, we are not. But I would not say that the sacrament dies when we die. We are still loved and we still love and that LOVE was shared with God. But in heaven, there is no purpose of being married because we do not need to procreate again.
Why should we get married? We should get married because that is what we want to do and not because we have to. We should get married because that is what God calls us to do. It is a great step to be even closer to God.
Note: I finally got this blog thing to work.
I guess the sanctity of marriage is the purity of marriage. Marriage in itself is pure and should be pure. Maybe the literal meaning of marriage is purity and something that is pure is sacred. That's my opinion.
I don't believe marriage is a vocation, although, it is a calling from God telling his people that he wants his name to be spread through generations of children. Vocation is to be married to God and only with god, but Marriage is to be with God as one with the other. If that makes any sense.
"til death do us part," That line seems to come back to me every time i think of that question. I honestly don't know. Maybe in heaven we just return to being children of God.
In my opinion people get married because they want to be with someone for the rest of their lives. And Marriage seems like the only way to explain the amount of love someone has for the other. Marriage is great, but I don't feel like giving up my life to marriage just yet.
I think that sanctity of marriage is talking about how when we get married, it is a way of us becoming holy. Many people nowadays think that the only holy people are the nuns, priests, and monks. But this is not true.
Yes, marriage can be a vocation. If God has called you to be married and unified with one single other person for the rest of your life, then it is a vocation.
Only Catholic marriages are considered to be sacramental. When you get married you are not only receiving sanctifying grace but also sacramental grace. Marriage is a gift from God and it pleases Him. Yes we will still be married when we get to heaven. Once you have chosen your husband/wife you stick with them.
I think each and every one of us is different. We all have different callings, but if we are called to get married we should. Marriage is a good thing, it brings families together and produces new ones. It is how we reproduce and survive in this life. If we are not called to be "married" to Christ we should get married for ourselves when we are ready.
the sanctity of marriage is its sacredness between a man and a woman. their bond is the sanctity that makes them one. many people dont think that being married is a vocation because when someone takes a vocation they devote themselves to God alone. and when two people get married they are devoted to eachother and God. but still this is what God calls ue to do, we are called by God to get married and have kids.
marriage is considered a sacrament because it is what God calls us to do.
marriage only last unitl death do us part. when we go to heaven we are freed from our troubles and sadness because we are living with our creator in heaven. so we cant bring our love one with us because that is the time when everything is devoted to God.
but it would be wonderful if we saw our love one their with us... i'm saddened by that... =(...
what is meant by the sanctity of marriage is that marriage is a holy way of life. those who choose to be in marriage are called to be holy. it is not just limited to those in the priesthood or other religious life. when couples say their vows to each other they are making their promises to each other which makes their marriage sacred. so, when we choose marriage we want our lives to be sacred.
a sacrament is something that consoles our soul with God. and marriage infuses the souls of the couple with God. which makes them one. what makes a sacrament is that the relationship mirrors the covenant between God and God's people.the sacrament of marriage is the couple sharing their whole life together by the couple living out the covenant. the wedding ceremony celebrates and affirms the sacrament that involves the couple's lifetime.
we are not married in heaven because in the vows it says "till death do us part." Because sometimes the significant other passes, the other person finds someone that they love just like the other that passed. marriage is a true vocation. not everyone is meant for the married life. if they're not meant for the married life they end up getting divorced.
why someone should get married at all is that they can share life with a loving companion, who they know will feel the same way. it will strengthen the individual identities. they are able to create a new life. marriage calls forth the best in each person. why get married at all because they can support each other through the journey in faith.
What is Santity of Marriage?
I Honestly think that its the sacrament of bonding with you, your partner, and of course God. I have learnd that being married is one of the Holy parts of being with someone. People think that when your married you don't have to Holy or religiouse because we often think of priest, the brother/sisterhood, or the nunery, but what we don't realize is that we are being holy because of the sacrament of marriage.
Marriage is sort of a vocation because it plays apart of what the priesthood or sisterhod does. God has called two people together, for proof, if you listen to what the preist says during the ceremony 'God has brought these two people together to share one another to be one'. i think that marriage is a vocation.
Marriage is considered a sacrament because the fact that you two different people come together to be one is forever. but when one spouse dies the sacrament becomes no more.
i think that you don't remaind married in Hevean because of what you say in your vows...'to death due us part'...when your in heaven you become brother and sister. the only reason why we get maried is to become one and to love and to produce.
We should get married because if we want to be with that person for the rest of our lives, than we should. Marriage is a step closer in being one and to enjoy our life more better.
Sanctity: Basically, marriage is sacred. It isn't something that you should toy with or something that you can experiment with. Marriage is for life. It isn't just another page in the book of your life. Marriage is a never ending chapter, "until death do you part."
Vocation: I think marriage truly is a vocation. You don't just wake up one day and say I feel like getting married. It's more of a feeling and wanting to get married. You know that it's what you want to do and it's what God wants you to do. Not everyone is called to be married, but many are.
Sacrament: A sacrament "infuses the soul with God's grace." God promises us that through marriage he will be there every stepof the way. Not that he won't be there for us if we don't get married. When you get married you receive more of God's grace specific to guiding you through your marriage.
Heaven: The Church has no specific answer to this question. I think that when we get to heaven the bond will still be there but they won't be married. It's hard to explain. The bond will be deeper than what it was on earth.
Why: I don't think we have to get married if we don't want what comes with it. But if you want a family, then you should get married. Not only to have a family but to share a bond with another person and to show God that we love Him for allowing us to experience His love through this person. To experience a deeper bond that others can't feel because they aren't married.
Sanctity is the sacred bond between man and a woman. This is shared from the day the get married not to themselves, but to God. The sanctity of marriage should be looked at as a something special and that the married couple should cherish that forever.
I think that marriage is a vocation because this is what some or most of us are supposed to do. God wanted us to do a specific task in our lifetime and being married is one of them.
I think it is considered a sacrement because this is God's will. I think this is just as important as us recieving Confirmation. This is a sacrament because this is a special time in our life and it is a grace of God that we are married.
I think we will be still married in heaven because in our lifetime we our married to our loveones.(man and wife) But when we do get in heaven, if we do, we are married to God. I think that is why we are married in heaven.
I think we get married because this is what we are supposed to do or what we are called to do. Plus, i think we get married because most of us want too, but its important to do it in our Catholic tradition.
Sanctity of Marriage
i believe that the meaning of te sanctity of marriage is the holiness of marriage itself. our society here on Guam is basically catholic so we ar all holy, butmost people think of being holy as a nun or priest. though getting married will make you holy-er and closer to God.
Is Marriage a Vocation
yes marriage can be a vocation because getting married is like a calling from God that he wants you to be wih this certain person for the rest of your life. because gettng married in the church is not only to your spouse but to God aswell, or you like marry God when your like baptized or somethin like that. it is a sacrament because we make God and the person a promise to love, teach and multiply.
Are we still marri when we gt to heaven?
no we are not married anymore when we get to heaven, because when you get marrie the priest says "til' deaf duz yu part" and those words give you the ability to re-marry
the reason why we should get married is so that we ae not alone and being married brings youcloser to God through the sacraments. and it is what God wants from us, to live in his world and multiply with love and prayer. ESTA'
