Should Religion Be the Foundation of a Relationship?

Many citizen believe that relationships and marriages should have a religious foundation. They also believe that it is leading that the individuals in the connection ensue the same faith. They (Christians) often refer to the statement from the Christian Bible that couples need to be “equally yoked”. Of course, the definition of being “equally yoked” is debatable. Personally, I believe that if two citizen have the same morals, values, life ambitions and goals, they are equally yoked.

While I was reading an article the other day, my interest in marital problems was peeked when the author recommended that before couples are married, they should study each other’s credit report. I know that it has been established that the number one cause of disunion in this Country is money issues. But I notion that pulling each other’s credit article was a limited much. However, the article did start me to reasoning about other causes of connection and/or marriage breakups. After a limited research, I discovered that religion was very high on the list of causes. This surprised me because I know that marriage existed long before established religion as we know it today. Even though we reveal marriage to civil government and to religion, citizen were getting married long before whether custom existed. In the starting marriage was about survival only. By forming relationships, individuals had a great chance of facing the many difficulties of aged living. Also there was the issue of identifing who the children “belonged” to. I believe that citizen have all the time held beliefs related to faith, but we must not forget that placed in the prospective of man’s total existence on Earth, established religion as we know it is a new creation.

I am truly not a religious person. I do however think myself a very spiritual person. The disagreement in the middle of religious citizen and me is that I do not ensue any Book. I believe in God and at times have even given consideration to the acceptance of angels and miracles. I mention this because I have had relationships with women with a lot of distinct faiths. The speculate for our brake ups were never related to religion. I explained my beliefs to them and promised to never interfere with their faith. I think that connection or marital problems in the middle of couples are mostly the ensue of one or both individuals attempting to change the other person. That is a no, no.

Religion became related with marriage only after one of its many historical moves to gain control of the people. After a while, citizen begin to accept this connection as the natural other of things. That is understandable since the Church was once the most excellent custom on earth. The historical power play of disunion of Religion and State resulted from governments developing a desire for that power for themselves. control of the custom of marriage was a logical target for civil institutions.

After civil institutions gained control of marriage by connecting it to “Law” citizen begin to believe that marriage could not be defined by religion. citizen decided that they would not allow religion to dictate who they should marry, for a while citizen put behind the idea that they need to marry person within the same religion or within the same sub-set of the religion.

The fact is that many citizen don’t have the same beliefs even if they claim to ensue the exact religion. Still, religion has re-established its connection with marriage. The Church has established a traditional role in sanctifying marriages and presiding over wedding ceremonies. Consequently, no one questions religion’s connection to marriage. Let’s be clear, nature taught us about forming relationships and getting marriage. Religion reiterates to us what nature has taught us, but the part does not belong to them. whether two individuals have the same faith should not cause a problem as long as they love one another, and work toward the same goals. If couples do this, instead of problems they will surly see a miracle happen in their lives.
