Will he be mad at me for being with my bf before we marry? We’ve been together for 5 years in a deep committed relationship. We intend to marry. I don’t believe in Gov marriages. What makes me married to my spouse in God’s eyes? He has promised, committed and even gave me a promise ring with vows to me. And has always stayed faithful to me. I feel guilty about it daily and repent about it daily but I keep seeing people say God says it’s okay as long as you intend to marry. Help!
Church marriage was invented by Church to keep some unholy registers at a time when Indulgences were also usual: Didn't Jesus bless the Cana wedding by offering them the best wine, instead of brandishing his whip at them like he did at the temple merchants?
When we were prepairing for our wedding in our parrish, the priest told us we already were married, and the Church’s role just consisted of blessing our Union. So yes, you are married because of your commitment, just make it blessed and official.
Your feelings of apprehension are well founded. I don't want to cause you more consternation as you sound really confused but I would brace yourself for a coming crisis of faith as all the world's organized religions are revealed to have been massively manipulated from antiquity.
Ashlanddog is a champion here and I have much respect for him but seriously, neither he nor anyone else can honestly answer deep questions on the nature of reality for you.
The bottom line is all this is a matter of faith unless you undertake some direct personal mystical experience. No-one knows what God said because the deep state has had so long with these manucripts.
God would not "speak" anything anyway, he would instantly transfer huge conceptual edifices directly into total understanding without something so pedestrian as english. It is all so anthropomorphic. These religions take the human experience and consciousness level and apply it to the God head. The fact that you are feeling guilty all the time is evidence that the deep state propaganda is working to confuse and obfuscate any decently enlightening knowledge of God or our own consciousness and how we fit into the universe.
Just have an open mind and realize that you have been lied to. It is all we can do at this point, but decent, unobfuscated, unmanipulated truth is nearly here.
I believe in some states after living together for so long, you become a “common law wife”. Some folks are forced into this, such as my brother, his girl would lose money from a previous marriage as well as income from the state, plus, I think they have some tax advantage that I don’t know about for sure. Check into the common law wife for your state.
Marriage was necessary to protect the offspring between a man and a woman, to declare the child's lineage as a legal heir, to acquire their father's name. It is a legal contract. Children born out of wedlock were not entitled to any claim or title. I have no idea how God "really" sees it. I trust that God guides us through life with his laws, so, in the first known laws, the Ten Commandments, adultery is a direct refusal of his laws. Have either of you been married before, or still married to another? If not, how could you be seen as committing adultery? If you are preventing conception, how do you feel about using birth control? Some Conservatives think that all birth control outside of the rhythm method is sinful, some do not. God blesses marriage but does not command it, is the general rule of thought. It is a ritual, a legal bond, and it protects the offspring, all good reasons to comply, but in God's eyes? As far as I understand, he condemns lust, fornication, and adultery. abortion and homosexuality. I do not get why two people cannot commit themselves to each other in the eyes of God outside of ritual, but I would pray on it.

...the road to Hell is paved with good intentions...
I think your heart knows the answer to your question.
May God lead you and shelter you.

Not commenting whether it‘s a sin or not. Only raising a thought:
If you‘re allready commited to each other, and live like a married couple: what keeps you from actually marrying?
Don‘t answer me, the question is for you, as is the answer.
Yes, this. You can do a private ceremony and then a public one when you can afford it.

Having sex was considered “married”.
