Registrar office wedding christian query

[CantRainAllTheTime]

I married my first husband in a registrar office, no religious ceremony. Does this marriage count in the eyes of the Lord? Having recently gone from being an atheist to a christian, i would like to know what the general consensus is?

I don't see why it wouldn't but if it bothers you you can renew your vows in a church

Of course it counts, God is present at all times, was there when you made your vows.

Have a blessing if it makes you feel better but there really is absolutely no need at all.

Do you mean youre divorced and want to marry the new man in church?

What kind of christian?

I divorced my first husband eight years ago and married my second husband, also in a registrar office, we are not divorced.

I am non denomination currently as i have only very recently found faith in God and attending my local church (church of scotland) for the first time tomorrow. It is all very new.

For Catholics it wouldn't count as marriage is a sacrament that needs to take place in a church, performed by a priest.
Not sure about other denominations, sorry.

You entered a contract to marry your husband. I don't see how you can morally slide out of that commitment, unless God is OK with people not really meaning the things they promise.

Can’t imagine God wants people to be unhappy.

God probably has more important things to worry about really in the grand scheme of things.

What the church believes though is another matter entirely.

Do you think that the church you're attending won't recognise your second marriage?

The church is the church of scotland which from what i understand, does not believe marriage is a sacrament so i assume the fact that i have married twice wouldnt be an issue.

Church of Scotland will recognise your civil wedding no problem (grew up in and was married in the CofS).

I hope you enjoy church this morning - I'm just waiting for my lift!

I did enjoy church, i was very nervous and its made me realise how much i have isolated myself over the years as everyone was so friendly and chatty and i felt quite anxious about socialising but that will pass.

I was shocked that my dh and i were the only 'young' people there. Made me quite sad really.

Yep it is recognised
