Wedding: Church or Civil or Both?

[zyLe]

---

it depends on the couple's preference, either way, the importance of which is the same.. its both legal.. the only difference is the one presiding the wedding - either priest or a judge.. 'gasto' wise, its the same, the docs you need for civil is the same docs you need for church.. (or maybe a few added to the church)

it only varies depending on the way you celebrate it, some civil weddings are celebrated glamorously while church weddings done simply, but most of the time, its the other way around.. well that's every girls dream anyway, walking down the aisle with the man they loved the most waiting for them.. but the most important thing is you guys got married.. I had my fair share for both!

bitaw sa... bro, u just gave me an idea... nahan ko naa ko comparative study ana....

well, judging from the elmas ruffa, willie and that girl, sharon and gabby... kinsa pa man ha... of course, maka notice jud ta dayon sa ila panagbuwag.

but the comparative study would have to be concerned of personal issues, concubinage, adultery, infidelity, psychological incapacity and the likes... murag lisod kaayo da kay personal kaayo. if mo leak ang info basin unethical nasad kaayo ako study.

yah, it's very helpful to know the effectiveness of each modes of marriage.

but of course, neither process guarantees a solid marital relationship.

@mata_hari, that kind of study came to my mind as i explored the questions:
"Minus the obvious infidelity cases, does a marital bond sealed under God/religion more stable than a one vowed under the legal system? Does the awareness/fear of God necessary in contributing to a successful marriage?"

all opinions are welcome.

I agree with this, kay i have some friends nga nag Church Wedding, then they end up filing annulment. I have few friends sad nga live in, some 5 years, some 9 and 12 years, and they are happy. So, para asko, if you want formality, then be wed sa church. I also remember nga my officemate just got married in a civil wedding last week kay iya girlfriend mu larga sa states, nya gi-buya pa gyud sa iya parents, so dali-dali sila pakasal duwi. then they live happily ever after.

in the magazine "Family Matters"... Survey showed 68% of church wedding succumed to divorce or at least had a troubled marriage after 5 years...
50% of live-in-relationship claimed has less stress.
65% of marriage who had prenuptial agreement has less stress and were contentend and happy...

I'll try to post the said article here...
