You were married as soon as the paperwork was filed - and so the responsibilities of your marriage existed regardless of whether or not you recognized them, or chose to defer them to some "god" character who has no say in the matter. That's the trouble with this jesus business of yours though, isn't it? Perpetually deferring or otherwise not recognizing ones own responsibilities.......availing one's self of the benefit of this earthly life and these earthly authorities but refusing to recognize them as such in spite of your own utilization, whenever it pleases, and often enough in a silly and absurd way; such as this prattling on about how little marriage meant to you relative to a promise to god. If your husband finds himself some extra-marital companionship...will you be reminding him of his promise to king of the fae, or the particulars of your marital contract?
You are incorrect in your assertion of me. When my husband and I got married, he was still a college student, and I had a restaurant job. We didn't start making any real money until my husband joined the Air Force as a pilot 3 years after we got married. Our reason for getting married had nothing to do with financial gain because neither one of us had any money at the time.

Um, if my husband cheated on me (which he never will, btw), the last words to come out of my mouth would be: "but how could you cheat on me? We had a government contract!"
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
