It is another man made law where the government can get money from you. Will God keep me from heaven if I do not have this license? God presented Adam with his wife Eve in Genesis God must be the center of your union. Paul describing Christ, the husband, and His church, the bride, in Ephesians 5 , paints the perfect picture of marriage:. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
God has established the authorities that exist. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. The United States provides valuable benefits and protections for couples obtaining an official marriage license.
See the list at the end of this article. Wedding ceremonies have been practiced around the world for centuries. Abraham took great care to obtain a godly woman for his son Isaac. Boaz received permission to marry Ruth by approaching the elders at the city gate.
Instead of a license, he used a sandal! Ruth Jesus first miracle was performed at the wedding at Cana. There is a growing number of believers who are not interested in participating in state licensing of marriages.

Marriage licenses didn't exist and were not required by the state until bi-racial marriages started happening. Initially only a marriage between a black person and a white person needed a permit.

Marriage has existed since the beginning of time, while the marriage license is a relatively new creation in American culture. A marriage license is never mentioned in the Bible and most early American settlers never heard of such a document. For as long as men and women have been on earth, marriages have taken place.
How is it, then, that so many people have come to believe that government involvement is the only way for two people to become married?
