No Family Or Friends

Can't speak on anything religious, but why do your friends and family not like someone you've been with for over a decade? That's very suspicious.

You do not need any witnesses for your marriage to be recognized in the eyes of God.
Witnesses are only a requirement by certain state laws; so do make sure you check local laws where you will be married to see if they require witnesses.

I see red flags here. You mean everyone in your life still disapproves after 11 years and 4 kids?

Playing devil’s advocate, many families have one person who they don’t approve of even if that individual did nothing wrong. Because they have different values, ethics, religion, social status, and the list goes on. Instead of punishing the individual by blacklisting them from the family, why not look for a found family among friends who don’t judge without reason?


What is relatives’ reasoning for the fiancé being a bad person? They aren’t the ones marrying this person. What does the Biblical aspect mean to you?
