Different Views Of Marriage In Religion

Marriage, aside from the laws as well as responsibility of the couple, also embodies different religion views. Almost all mainstream religions, such as Christianity, Protestantism, Judaism, and Islam, believes that marriages are a divine practice deemed and blessed by the gods. Most of these religions perform a wedding ceremony to solemnize the beginning of a marriage which can be regarded as a sacred sacrament, contract, a sacred institution, or a covenant.

Christianity
In Christianity, they believe that marriage is a gift from God, one that should not be taken for granted. Christians often marry for religious reasons ranging from following the biblical injunction for a “man to leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one,” to obeying Canon Law stating marriage between baptized persons is a sacrament. However, divorce is not encouraged in Christianity, synonymous to Protestantism, in which annulment can only end marriage.

Protestantism
In Protestant views, the purpose of marriage is to glorify God by demonstrating his love to the world. Other purposes of marriage include intimate companionship, rearing children and mutual support for both husband and wife to fulfill their life callings. Unlike Christianity, Protestants generally approve of birth control. Also, most Protestant churches allow people to marry again after a divorce.

Judaism
In Judaism, marriage is viewed as a contractual bond commanded by God in which a man and a woman come together to create a relationship in which God is directly involved. Though procreation is not the sole purpose, a Jewish marriage is also expected to fulfill the commandment to have children. The main purpose of Judaism marriage centers around the relationship between the husband and wife.

Islamic Views
Islam also commends marriage, with the age of marriage being whenever the individuals feel ready, financially and emotionally. Unlike other mainstream religions, Islam views mostly allow polygamy in men, with the specific limitation that they can only have up to four wives at any one time, given the religious requirement that they are able to and willing to partition their time and wealth equally among the respective wives.

Other Religion Views

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) believe that “marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”
Hinduism sees marriage as a sacred duty that entails both religious and social obligations.
In the Bah’ Faith marriage is encouraged and viewed as a mutually strengthening bond, but is not obligatory. For more information visit to our site at http://philippineweddingplanner.com

A Short Story By William Shakespeare.

A Royal wedding was to be held in the city of Athens between Hippolyta and the Duke of Athens, Theseus. This was to take place in four days time on the first of May.

During their talks about the wedding, Duke Egeus arrives and tells them that he is unhappy about the situation of his daughter not marrying Demetreus, even though he has given his blessing. Hermia has fallen in love with another person, and does not want to marry Demetrius.

Lysander is in love with this other person. Egeus is sure that with all the presents and kind words Lysander has won her over. The Duke comes and points out to Hermia, that it is a law in Athens not to go against a father’s wishes, and that if she refuses to marry Demetrius she will either be condemned to death or will spend the rest of her as a nun in the convent.

The Duke gives Hermia 4 days to decide what she is going to do.

Just outside Athens lies Lysander’s Aunt’s house, and both Hermia and Lysander decide to hide there. Helena is Hermia’s best school friend, so they decide to explain the situation, but Helena does not do as they ask.

She disobeys them, because she is in love with Demetrius and at one time Demetrius was in love with her. Helena tells Demetrius that both Hermia and Lysander are going to run away, hoping that he will be nice with her.

Now Demetrius is going to follow Lysander and Hermia into the woods and Helena decides to follow Demetrius.

Meanwhile some ordinary folk in Athens decide to put on a play for The Duke and his bride. Quince, Bottom, Flute, Snug and Snout are but everday people, and they have no knowledge of playwrighting or acting.

These men can not agree on who should play what so they decide to meet at moonlight in the Woods.

Now inside these same Woods that the men are meeting and that Lysander and Hermia are going to run away, the King and Queen fairies are to be found. They have come here in honour of the wedding.

Oberon and Titania were arguing about a young Indian boy, and one of Oberon’s servants hears them. They both want the Indian boy to work for them.

Oberon plays a trick on Titania by placing magic flower juice over her eyelids so that she will fall in love with the first thing she sees when she awakens.

Demetrius enters the woods in search of Hermia and Lysander, but he is angry that he is followed by the forelorn, Helena. Oberon overhears the conversation between Demetrius and Helena. He feels sorry for Helena and decides to have Puck place the magic flower juice on Demetrius.

He hopes that Demetreus will fall in love with Helena. Puck mistakenly puts the magic flower on Lysander instead of Demetrius. It is nightfall. Both of them, Lysander and Hermia fall into a deep slumber. Helena finds Lysander in the woods and awakens him. Lysander and Helena go off together, now in love.

All the tradesmen meet in the woods. Bottom’s head is turned into the head of an ass by the naughty Puck.

Embarrassed and frightened by his friends, Bottom runs away accidently waking up Titania. Titania then falls in love with Bottom, who has an ass-head. Demetrius finds Hermia in the woods and they fall in love.

In the end, the magic potion wears off. All is back to normal, Hermia and Lysander get married as well as Helena and Demetrius.

Secrets To Look Taller And Sexy In Party Wear Salwar Kameez

Fitting is the mantra to look taller. Well fitted kameez and churidar accentuate your body lines, which naturally creates a slimming effect and an appearance of added height.

A single shoulder kameez and a halter neck as well as anything with a deep v-neck will work.

Pick kameez with vertical pleats, stripes or patterns. Pinstripe, chalk stripe and herringbone will provide the visual length you are hoping for.

Wear churidars instead of salwars and avoid kameez that are too flared or voluminous.

Opting for dark colors such as black, navy and deep gray will also make you look slimmer and taller thereby.

Also avoid strong color contrasts between kameez and churidar. Monotones are a good idea.

A long dupatta too helps to look tall.

Keep the jewelry light and avoid bulky pieces. Danglers and long chains are a good idea to look tall.

Avoid platforms heels and wear stilettos.

Carry potli bags or clutches instead of heavy bags.

And last but not the least practice a good posture by keeping an upright torso as often as you can.

Wedding Car decoration- why bother

Decorating your wedding car is an element in the complex called “wedding preparations” there are many ways to decorate a groom and bride car and even in this small niche there are modern and innovative design along side with old fashion designs. In many places in the world decorating cars with flowers is history, although in some countries wedding cars are still mainly decorated by flower bouquets which are placed (more accurate- glued) to the car’s hood. In general- using fresh flowers is less common, and many are reluctant to use of flowers for such a task.

In the last years wedding cars get more attention than in the past, and people understand the importance of matching the wedding car decoration to the whole wedding’s theme. A decorated wedding car is a sort of a setting for the whole ceremony. Some weddings have a special theme or a special blend of colors in their design that sometimes go all the way to the groom and bride’s clothing for example if light purple or cream color were chosen as the theme colors (curtains, tables, flowers, invitations etc.) you could join your car to the theme and decorate it with matching colors.

Another very important match is the decoration’s match to the color of the car itself. If the chosen car is white- most colors will be a match and any kind of decoration would look colorful and appropriate. As mentioned earlier, car decorations are made without using balloons or flowers. The most common and effective decoration uses tulle cloth, net fabric, organza fabric and designed ponpons.

If you decided to decorate your own car, it is important for you to know what kind of car will be used, what will be its color- for example- while using a white car, I recommend using a different colored fabric(cream, pink, light purple etc.), the color of the ponpons and decoration straps’ colors should be complimentary and matching the fabrics color.

If you chose to purchase a ready-made decoration kit, order a kit that will suit the cars color and size- for example- decorating a small car with a large kit might yield an over decorated tasteless result .on the other hand – a large car decorated with two small ponpons might look ridicules rather than decorated. Even when purchasing a ready-made kit- it is important to take the size and color factors in consideration. If you are renting a car, it might be impossible to know its color in advance.
