Holy Matrimony: Now That We're Married

The 21st century has ushered in some extreme, strange, and disturbing beliefs about marriage. We’re living in a day and time where the definition and purpose of marriage is being challenged, and in some areas of our country changed to meet the desires of our society. Laws have been passed in some states that sanction same sex marriage, men marrying men, and women marrying women. Men and women marrying animals may be just around the corner, and if we’re not careful, we may see laws on the books that sanction and encourage this as well, particularly if the animal will be entitled to the medical or insurance benefits of its spouse.

You may say this will never happen. Well, we’re also living in a time where public display of the Ten Commandments is being challenged. It seems our society doesn’t want to be faced with or reminded of what God has said and established for us to have an orderly society. It’s almost as though what we want is for every man to be able to do what he feels is right in his own heart. We’ve been there before.

Marriage is under attack from the outside as well as the inside. Husbands and wives are trying to manage marriage, while society is trying to re-define and re-shape marriage at the same time. We’ve been blinded by the enemy, unable to see the spiritual warfare launched on the marriage which is wounding families, businesses, and the church, resulting in serious casualties. However, all is not lost if we look to God’s Word, embrace His principles, and apply them to our marriage and daily living. "Holy Matrimony" will provide you with biblical instruction on how to have a marriage that is pleasing in God's sight, and I have made it available for all to read online.

Most white people are ticasrs. I advise Muslims not to marry Christian American girls not because I am prejudice or ticasrs but mainly because of different brought up. I have seen too many divorces between Muslim immigrant men and American women because of their brought in two different cultures and religions. Muslim father always looses his children for two reasons.1. American white Judges in most cases favor white mothers and give more often custody of children to mother's even if Muslim fathers have good income and care a lot for their children.2. Mother gets custory and in some cases doesn't allow her children to see father. Also because of her control over children she raises children as Christians and father can not do any thing about it.Most Muslims fathrs give custody of children to mother because of his brought up in Islamic country where Islamic laws allow children to remain with mothers until age 10 (girl) and 12 (boy). These laws were made centuries ago by early scholars of Islam based on the Sunnah and Ahadiths of Prophet of God. Bases of these laws are that:1. it is devastating for mother if children are taken from her. It is also extremely difficult for children to loose their mother. 2. Secondly by nature mother can love and care to her children much better than father at young age. Islamic laws require mother to send her daughter at age 10, and sons at age 12 to their father. A. After age 12 boy needs father to learn how to be a man from his father and girl needs to learn her father (a male figure) which will help her to become good wife in future. Education and marriages of children is financial responsibility of father and not the mother.B. Another reason is that if mother remarrys, her daughter is nothing to her new husband and he can molest her which happens a lot in west. Because western mothers don't give the daughter to father until she becomes adult even if she marrys. Muslim mother always sends her daughter to her father's house for her protection, further education and her marriage by her father. to educate her and to marry his daughter .These rules were made by early Islamic scholars based on Prophets instructions. Most Muslim parents follow these rules with out any reservations. Mothers seldom stop children to meet their fathers. Paremts rarely have court cases about child custody in all Muslim countries.
