Marriage and family laws

1. http://travel.state.gov/family/family_issues/marriage/marriage_589.html

I chose this site because it has the wedding, marriage, and family laws for couples wanting to get married. It is just stating what can and cannot be done and how to do it. I tried to chose something that just showed that a lot of people including our government only thinks in the here and now, and not about what a marriage is and can be afterlife.

Church and marriage

2. http://www.united-church.ca/moderator/short/2003/1008d.shtm

I liked this website because it shows the chronological order of marriage and the church. It was a great site to visit because you could see when marriage was just a marriage, and when divorce was not even a consideration for a marriage gone badly. It was really interesting also that there is actually a lot of research done on this, and you can see how strong marriage is in the church life.

Institution of Marriage and why

3. http://www.decapolis.com/faith_/pages/10-WhyDidGodInstituteMarri.shtml

I chose this one because it asks why God instituted marriage and why people want to go and change the ways now. It gives quotes and scriptures from the bible itself, and gives a little insight as to how to keep a marriage together by using God. It also has topics that you can look into about how to stay strong through hard times, and other such things relating to God and Christianity.
