Thank you so much for sharing your reactions as you explore these subjects and for sharing your insight and analysis! Hugs!!!

We clearly agree on the power of love to cast out fear!

Dear I have to take exception with this: two people living under a civil agreement at law (which ought be dissolved IMHO FWIW.) It has been my pleasure to meet and cohabitate with my angel before committing to her for life. For no matter how I felt about her after our first meeting I had to allow her the comfort of the times. I had to let her learn to trust and love me. The same can be said about my converting from Methodist to Catholic faith 5 years ago and experiencing my renewed love. My spirituality flourishes. All will to be obiedient. Love.

Congratulations! May God richly bless you!!!

I should have explained my statement better. To sum it up, I am saying that God is the one who makes the marriage. He was marrying couples long before there were any laws, Jewish priests, Catholic priests, Baptist preachers or civil authorities.

If the marriage is of God, the parties know it and would not deign to break it. If the marriage is of man, IMHO FWIW, it isn’t worth the paper it is written on and ought be dissolved (in favor of submitting to His will instead of self-will.)

Agreed. And I'm sorry I could have explained mine better also. When I spoke, "committing to her for life , I was speaking of man law (paper) marriage. The depth of my commitment to her, I already knew. Love.
