  CONFUSED: What does “idolizing marriage” look like? How does it work? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

• 
  @NA1c158Ай бұрын

  When you worship the idea of marriage and the status rather than being humble and focusing on the family, no ego or selfishness.

• 
  @BoldenMatrimonyАй бұрын

  “Idolizing” simply means putting a created thing, before the creator of the thing (Romans 1:25) So practically it means people who would seek marriage itself in isolation rather than seeking the creator OF marriage - God, for instruction. We give a lot more context in the video if you haven’t checked it out!

  I enjoyed listening to this conversation. Thank you both for your insight on marriage. Kori, thank you for sharing how you once idolized marriage and saw it as a fantasy. I think that may be the phase I'm in 🫣 lol. I know you talked about repenting and submitting yourself to God for you to come out of that phase. What other steps did you take to not idolize marriage? And how did you know that it was no longer a fantasy/idol for you?

• 
  @BoldenMatrimony22 күн бұрын

  Hey, Blair! My sincere apologies for the delayed response. Great question and thanks for tuning in! The other steps I took came as a result of me surrendering my idea/idolization of marriage to God. What this looked like practically for me was reading/studying God's Word as well as biblically sound books/teachings (i.e., Understanding the Purpose and Power of the Woman by Dr. Myles Munroe) to get a clear understanding of God's purpose for marriage. With this came an increased understanding of what it truly means to be a wife from a biblical standpoint. It's not the fairytale, "happily ever after" fantasy that I picked up from many movies and romance novels. It was about learning to submit to and serve God in my singleness. Honoring my commitment to God became the primary focus -- not finding a husband. That's how I knew marriage was no longer a fantasy/idol for me. I hope this is helpful!

  Would yall agree there's a difference between a covenant made under God and the legal action of getting married? If so, I'm trying to answer the question if the covenant has been made but the ceremonial wedding is for example next month, wouldn't God consider that couple married already and therefore they could do married couple things in an encouraged fashion?

• 
  @BoldenMatrimony2 ай бұрын

  That’s a great question! I would reference Genesis 2:21-24 and take note of Adam’s response to his wife, Eve. Notice his first response to his wife isn’t physical. He first makes a public declaration (vows) of his love and affection for the woman that is brought to him. This is a ceremonial marriage happening right here! If you look up the Genesis text on “blue letter Bible” (to get the Hebrew meanings of word) - “îš” (man) means husband and iššâ (woman) means wife. We’re not told that they have sex until the beginning of Chapter 4. So I do believe it’s a difference - both a spiritual act of binding 2 to 1. And a physical act of publicly declaring your intention to honor your covenant before the Lord and loved ones(and sex). There is a specific order that we should be cautious to follow outlined in the text.

The name change has a very biblical component to it as well… we (the church) take on the name of Jesus (bridegroom) as His bride through baptism and with marriage being a physical example of Christ, we take on the name of our husband in marriage…. which then gets passed down to the children, etc. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the marriage topic videos!

  I’d sayyy…Y’all are both in ur early 30’s is my guess. Me & (most of) my immediate family, due to our spiritual knowing, don’t celebrate birthdays. Me & my nephews have genuinely forgotten our ages on occasion🙃lol. I know that most of us have been here (on earth) plenty of times, so sometimes when ppl ask my age I’ll say “in this life I’m 32” or “this time around I’m ___ age”. Folks get a kick out of that lol. The framework of our holy community is to spend this life in preparation for the next one, a deep dive on “being in the world, not of it”. So w/ that mindset comes sacrifice. Not a blood ritual chile, but sacrificing certain ways & customs that’ve been deemed normal to society, ie I loooove my locs & they represent so much for me but I wear a turban & diadem like The Most Highs commanded Moses. I don’t wear my hair out in public (no I’m not muslim lol). But That’s me sacrificing /giving up using my hair as an object of desire or as an instrument to draw attention…I regard my hair now as it was originally & intentionally designed to be, ets my treasure, my antennas etc. But with the faithful mind frame of being in the world not of it…it’s like where does age come in? ( for me). Wat true value/meaning does et serve? Now, we’re not extremist in this stance either, I REBUKE pedophilia in the name of The Most High, mmkay. If I gotta fill out documents & they need my age sure, I write it. But for me, Ion do shit for my birthday lol & havnt for almost 10 years. Ion let coworkers decorate my desk, none of that, but if they insist in some small way, I’m not bothered, I smile, say thank you, & enjoy my gifts lol. Last lil “fun” fact…is in the church of satan, per my research, birthdays are the BIGGEST holiday, that’s there “Christmas”, if you will…which is “the ways of the heathen” according to the book of Jeremiah I believe ( I vaguely rahmember Kori doing an IG story on this few years ago I think) but yea….ok I’m done🤍 lol.

I believe a man is responsible for overseeing and ensuring provision but to me that doesn’t have to look like his income covering all the bills all the time. We both bring what we have and arrange it in the way that works best for us! I am going to law schools so if I have access to higher earnings in some seasons maybe my income will cover more but he will surely be providing in various ways as well.

  Abstaining from sex before marriage isn’t possible. There’s no such thing as premarital sex, that’s why you’ll never find the word ‘premarital’ or ‘sex before marriage’ in your Scriptures.

• 
  @BoldenMatrimony5 ай бұрын

  Abstaining is possible. We talk about how we did it. But language uses both words and phrases to describe things. Which helps us communicate clearly. Although “premarital sex” or “sex before marriage” aren’t plainly said in the scriptures - they certainly reference the ideas and give specific instruction on how we should conduct ourselves. The word the Bible uses to describe this is “fornication” or sexual immorality - but on this platform I think how we described it would help people better grasp the concept.

  @@BoldenMatrimony Understand what I am saying. Sex before marriage isn’t possible because two are married through the act of sex. Sex is what joins two people together, making them one flesh. Marriage, in the eyes of God, is not ordained through a legal arrangement, or through a wedding, which is a celebratory feast. Marriage itself is the unification of two, the joining together to become one. This is done by the act of sex. This is why I showed you that premarital isn’t in the bible, and sex before marriage isn’t in the bible, because none of those things were possible when those Scriptures were written. The world has formed its own idea on what marriage is, and what constitutes as being a valid marriage, and Christians have conformed to that idea and turned away from what true marriage is in the eyes of God.

It was translated from Greek manuscripts. The Greek word for wife is the same word as woman. The Greek word for husband is the same word as man. You can verify this quickly on your own with a google search. Now look at 1 Corinthians 7, where Paul talks about marriage lengthily. “But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.” Man and husband are the same word. Wife and woman are the same word.

  This topic is so interesting. When we moved to the west it was really the first time I became aware of the tradition of dropping maiden names at marriage. I’m Assyrian Christian from Iraq. We still speak a dialect of Aramaic similar to what was spoken in biblical times and by Jesus himself. We typically keep our sired names when we get married. Patrilineal line of descent. Our children take their father’s names and so on. Passed down, not across. In a way it keeps paternal and maternal family lineage intact and present for our children and grandchildren etc. For me personally it does not make sense for me to take my husbands last name sired to him by his father when I have my own, but I do respect the sentiment and tradition for others. If my husband asked me to change my last name I would not have an issue with it at all. Great discussion. Very thought provoking. Love, light and blessings x
