Marriage Consummation In The Bible 소설 & 이야기

The priest, a tall man with silver hair and a kind face, sensed the gravity of the situation and began the wedding rites, his voice resonating through the sacred space. "Dear friends, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Gael and Elma in holy matrimony," the priest began, his words carrying a weight that matched Elma's emotions. "Marriage is a sacred bond, a commitment of love and devotion between two souls. It is a journey filled with joy, challenges, and growth. Today, we come together to bless this union and to affirm the love that Gael and Elma share."

"I command you to be honest before God and honestly face all the reasons that hinder your union. Remember, any union that does not conform to God's word will be invalid. "Groom, do you agree to take the bride as your wife? Are you willing to be with her whether she is rich or poor, in sickness and in health?" Logan replied seriously, "I do!" Elijah looked at Etiennette. "Bride, do you agree to marry the groom? Are you willing to be with him whether he is rich or poor, in sickness and in health?" Etiennette replied softly, "I do." Elijah nodded and smiled. "Now, in the name of God, I declare that you may exchange rings and kiss each other. You're now officially husband and wife."

His beautiful smile widens, stealing my breath. "Therefore, as a minister of the Almighty God, I bless you and wish you a life of much love, forgiveness, and continuous understanding. I bless this union that everyone here knows was able to break the heavy chains, bringing life and happiness to this place. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen! You may now kiss the bride." He says and smiles. The piano starts playing 'Talking to the Moon,' and my husband comes closer. His hand gently touches my chin, and slowly his head tilts back to me. I close my eyes when his lips touch mine with softness, a precise calmness, slow and delightful. Just a touch, then another and anoth

". She asked, not believing. Emma pulled away from the hug and gave her friend a worrisome look. "It's a contract marriage, Genna. We signed a contract. His Lawyers were there to seal the contract. We had an agreement. It's not a love marriage. So please, don't get over-excited about it. He doesn't love me". She chewed her words. Not understanding what she was saying. "Whatever, all the same. You get to see him daily. You get to kiss him. You get to touch him and you get to fuck him, fuck!!! ". Genna's cussing was coming out loudly, and Emma was becoming pissed.

"Really? Nothing? Well, let me tell you what you need to be sorry for. You need to be sorry for your foolishness. We have been married for days, and yet, you have not been able to get us to consummate our marriage." He sneered at me. My eyes popped wide as I stared at him, shocked by the words he was saying. This was a contract marriage, not a marriage for love. Consummating the marriage wasn't necessary especially since he wasn't in love with me.

The signatures and the witnesses and the legal documents were not enough. We had to consummate the marriage or the voting rights did not transfer. Which meant the wedding night was not just a wedding night and it was a legal requirement and Nathaniel knew about this clause because there was no way his lawyers would have let something this important go unmentioned. I called Catherine immediately. "There is a consummation clause in the trust," I said when she answered. "What?" "Page sixty seven. Additional Conditions and Requirements. It says consummation must occur within seventy two hours or the voting rights do not transfer."

The bishop turned back to the witnesses of our union, and spoke in a loud and clear voice. “As Kai and Adelie have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before the gods and all these witnesses, and thereto, have given their oath to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving of a ring, and by the hand-fasting, I pronounce that they be man and wife, together.”

“After three years of marriage, His Majesty has agreed to consummate your union.” The room went silent. The words hit me like a thunderclap. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. I just stood there, staring at them, my pulse roaring in my head. “Consummate?” I repeated, my voice flat. “As in—sex?” None of them answered. They didn’t need to. Their silence said everything. My knees felt weak. I stumbled back, gripping the bedpost like it could anchor me to reality. This couldn’t be happening. It couldn’t be real.

I huffed. King Cyrus frowned. “We’re married,” he said, like that explained everything. “So?” I shot back, irritated by his logic. “That doesn’t give you the right to touch me. You still need my consent,” I said flatly. He raised a brow. “So you didn’t want to mate with me?” “What?” I looked up at him, stunned. “Mate with you?” “Newly married couples mate as soon as they can. It finalizes the bond. I have to mate you and mark you to form that bond,” he explained.
