Inter religion marriage?

TRUE… no one person can tell you… but I vehemently reject the the idea that ALL marriage is about is “love” and ‘feelings’ – that is a totally non-Catholic view of marriage. Catholics believe that marriage is MUCH more then mere feelings. It is a commitment, a sacrament, it is about raising children, about 'the 2 becoming one" - spiritually, as well as physically.

So I have to disagree with Sufijon’s response. Sorry to say. It “sounds” good on the surface and is the type of answer you’d get from a romance movie and the secular world…but it doesn’t have a whole lot of substance to it.
No offense intended. Just giving you a different perspective.

Again… I have to disagree, only that Marriage is about MORE then love. Not just feelings and isn’t merely an intuitive thing. YES God commanded us to love thy neighbor as ourselves… but he did not command us to MARRY everyone we love. Marriage is a different thing then love. We should not reduce it to such a casual thing. I may have love and charity for my fellow man… some more then others…but I do not marry everyone I love.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. Catholic marriage is exactly what Sufjon claimed. It all about Love, it there is no Love there is no marriage.

I have gone to a Catholic School and was always taught with LOVE and God in your life anything is possible.

Even in the most difficult marriage problem if the couple has God and Love in that marriage it will survive. Because what is LOVE? Love is giving oneself to oneanother and God.

And when a couple are truly in love and are married in the Church and as Sufjon does attends Mass on a regular basis with his spouse that marriage will survive.

Marriage is a sacrament in the CC and when it is in Love. it is a true marriage and is instituted by Christ to give GRACE. It is that Grace that grows every day those People attend his Mass that the Grace is given more and more to beat the odds.

I bet if they did a survey on Catholic Marriages who attend mass on a regular basis and have stayed together the results would be amazing.

Hi love, Hey I can maybe help you on one thing, Here is one thing to remember all souls who are not on earth have already found peace in Christ!! So they don’t need it, only the souls on earth.

And for the souls who have not accepted God don’t want his peace and never will anyway so its their choice and they have made their choice to not have his peace.

The reason I asked and you have pretty much proven my point, in a good way, and that is never underestimate the power of God. He brought you to his Son Jesus and thats amazing.

I did ask once if animals had souls and I was told no! But I also asked if they go to heaven and I was told yes. I think God just gives them great big hearts. Thats why I think they can all get into heaven because they are like little babys they are always purely inocent. I feel sorry for people who have never felt the love of an animal. It is a love you cannot explain. It is alot like the love of Christ though, unconditional.

Its sound terrible to compare the love of Christ like the love an animal can have for us, but only people who have had that love could understand. How we can even ignore our animals at times but they still LOVE us when we call out thier names. God is like that, always waiting to help us.

But that is probally why they don’t have souls because when they die they are full of nothing but goodness and God probally takes them up Body and all. They have no soul to have to be judged, they are just full of goodness!

Hi Rinnie: I like your idea on animals! My dog just died 10 days ago. We got him from the animal shelter 16 years ago. He wasn’t a very friendly dog - he was rather aloof, but we were all really attached to him just the same.

Your friend,
Sufjon
