Is Getting Married In Secret A Sin? [Spirituality & Religion]

Mmm... let me think.... yeah, I still think it's plain stupid. You may think you are both ready to get married. In fact, you are NOT. First you both have to get settled with jobs, for that you have to go to college. Imagine raising kids with no job to earn money. I think it's better to wait till you get a job.

You are both in a state of flux right now, meaning your futures are anything but secure. You're still learning, you're still being educated, you have little practical experience living on your own or with another human, you have no finances for a family (I'm guessing, unless you plan on making the 800K it takes to raise a child). You are in the midst of meeting all kinds of new people from all walks of life; you have no idea who will turn your head. More than that, the human brain isn't even fully developed until about age 26.

You cannot understand this now, and you're not supposed to, but no matter how mature you are for your age, you're not even close to how mature you'll be in five years. Trust us on this. So the choice is yours: Marry impulsively and secretly (no, it's not a sin but it's not mature) or wait a few years, both have solid educational foundations and economically sound futures, get out and experience the world a little and then have the wedding you've dreamed of.

If it's right, it'll wait. If it's not, then thank God you waited. Good luck.

I'd advise to wait. I know you've heard this all to often, but you're too young. You will be going through so many changes in the next couple of years, that as much as you love each other, you may find that your interests will change. Example: You're college age. You would be surprised at the percentage of college students that change their majors in mid-course, when they find their interests have moved on to other fields.
If you are truly soulmates, you will be together, but I have seen far too many couples rush into marriage and find out they weren't ready for the commitment and the stresses marriage can bring. I'm all for living together. I have known couples who were great friends but found that they couldn't stand living under the same roof together.
My own first wife told me years later, that she actually believed that when she got married, she would now live happily ever after. She was very confused and upset when it didn't happen. Of course it didn't help that she was an alcoholic and a secret drinker. I didn't find out until after the divorce.

People get married in secret for all different reasons but maybe you should take your time after all if it's true love he won't be going anywhere so why rush..You will get him in the end your parents will both be happier so win win all around..

I think you may regret doing something this major in secret, if you want to get married, do, but let your family be a part of it. :)

Why Is This All Capitalized? I find this very hard to read actually!

Hey, you are right. Didn't even notice that. 👁👁

Said Little Red Riding Hood to the Wolf!

How and where you want to get married, is up to you and your fiancé. There's no sin in marriage, and "the bed is undefiled" in doing so. Adultery and fornication are sin in God's eyes. So no...you're good. 😊 If anyone has a problem with your decision, that's their problem, not yours.

Is Getting Married in Secret a Sin?. No, just stupid!

Why CereBellum what big eyes you have!!

Yeah marriage is about that. However a marriage is usually publicly announced to the world, thats what ceremonies are for. To make it official.

What's the big rush? 🤔

I bet it was harder to write...

And have been together for longer... damn people rush into things

Yeah its kind of weird
