Does it say anywhere in the bible that you have to get married in a church.Can i get married at the justice of the peace and it be a holy union in the eyes of God?

Answer 1

No where in the Bible does it state that a Marriage must be done in a church.

Remember God is the God of ALL, the most important thing is to get married and not to live in sin. This is stated many times in the Bible.

Saying this however, formal ceremonies may be preferred by you family members. Remember marriage is suppose to be a once in a life time thing. You are not suppose to get divorced with the one exception (if your spouse cheated on you).

But Jesus said Moses allowed this because of the hardness of your hearts and in the beginning this was not so.

In other words, once you get married it is a once in a lifetime occurrence. The Bible also says you are no longer two but one flesh. It also says, let no man separate what God has joined.

So make the best of this one time event!

Answer 2

The Bible does not specify that a marriage must take place in a church. God is concerned with the commitment and love between the couple rather than the physical location of the ceremony. A marriage can be considered sacred in the eyes of God regardless of where it is officiated, as long as the couple is committed to honoring and loving each other according to God's principles.
