Survey on marriage (for homework)

[lizbud]

Did you marry in church? (most recent marriage if been married more than once)

If answer is yes
- Are you Religious?

- Why did you marry in church?
If answer no
- Where did you marry and why?

Yes, we married in our local parish church.
I do not strictly practice my religion nor does my ex-husband.

We married in the Catholic church because we both attended church at
that time & that was the custom.

We were married in the Catholic Church my husband grew up in, and had 2 priests, both close friends of my parents officiating. I don't know that I would say that we are overally religious, but we do have our beliefs. We were both brought up in Catholic families, attended Catholic school, and it never occured to me to not get married in a church.

Did you marry in church? (most recent marriage if been married more than once) No, we didn't.
If answer is yes
- Are you Religious?
- Why did you marry in church?
If answer no
- Where did you marry and why? We were married in Park City, Utah at a B & B. I am a believer with no home church (hearin' you there- Medusa ) and an introvert. Hubby is agnostic, so out of respect, I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable, so we had a destination wedding.
We didn't know the officiate, that didn't bother me, since I didn't know any church official. I feel I had God's blessing, no matter where we were, He goes with me.
BTW, Our 10th anniversary is Friday.

Got married in a church.

Why? Because we wanted a spiritual aspect...even though neither one of us was religious. We were okay with this - had seen the minister for a bit of pre-counselling - and wanted our families to be comfortable as well. Talking about God - who my hubby called "Louie" - was part of our marriage.

Did you marry in church? Yes.

If answer is yes
- Are you Religious? Yes.

- Why did you marry in church? Our faith is a big part of our lives, and getting married in God's house was important to us.

Did you marry in church? Sort of yes. We were married in a Tabernacle at a Christian Campground.

- Are you Religious? No
- Why did you marry in church? We married in the Tabernacle as a compromise. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but the in laws freaked out about us not marrying in a church. The Tabernacle had an "outdoor" feel and was churchy enough to please the in laws. My old neighbor who is a non-denominational pastor officiated. In-laws weren't too keen about that (they are Lutheran) but my parents intervened.

[Jessika]

Did you marry in church? Yes

If answer is yes
- Are you Religious? Yes, both hubby and I are
- Why did you marry in church? Because of a number of reasons - our religion: we wanted to be married "in the eyes of God"; we wanted to do it "right"; and our mothers would have KILLED us if we eloped... lol

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Did you marry in church? (most recent marriage if been married more than once) Yes.

If answer is yes
- Are you Religious? Hubby is VERY spiritual. Much moreso than I.

- Why did you marry in church? My parents would not have paid for it otherwise And hubby would not have wanted to marry anywhere else.

Thanks for your help everyone

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Yes, we were married in church, almost 29 years ago
Why? Both our families are very religious, and dad's brother is a catholic priest.
We don't go to church anymore, since about 15 years ago, but we are religious.

ps. Not attending church services is mainly because of my bad health...

[Marigold2]

Yes married in a church both times.

No longer attend church due to problems within that church, just haven't found a new one but I do pray everyday.
