I am Amish, and I have to say that this is all very insulting.
I thought I was the only Amish guy here! What kind of wood did you make your computer out of? Mine's oak.
Good day brother!
Oak is for heathens and Mennonites. Teak...that's a Godly wood.

Brother Freedom, a question I have for you is this: "I recently had some extra lumber sitting in the barn. Jacob and I had some extra time on our hands after the last harvest...we fashioned something along the lines of a wooden "device." It has two holes...................
Would this be gay if...."
Remember, we don't live in Norway.

Remember Brother Axl4Prez: the Lord sayeth it be gay only if it runs on electricity. Otherwise, it simply be a device to reduce the labors of our women folk after a long day of pie baking and corn shucking. This, at least, be how Brother Jebediah described it to me, before his soul was stolen by the English with their magical picture creation device.

Funny that.
Arranged marriages between royal houses were specifically designed to empower both 'houses'.
Well, my french grandparents had an arranged marriage it was the 20th century as it were.
Maybe some think that love and money don't mix, people in love do foolish things.
I guess arranged marriages led to pre- nups, didn't they ?

Marriage these days is a coin flip anyway. Not too much of a practical difference.

Arrange me as long as they have money. Otherwise take a leap off the pier. My actions would probably send my arranged partner into overload thus suffering a heart attack.

My family are related to an Apostolic-Orthodox Church. Reason why it is 'mixed' is because it is a church specific to one particular heritage, which in my case is Armenian, from which the majority of attendees are either Apostolic or Orthodox. There aren't arranged marriages which are "forced", but as I said before, there are families who would arrange a meeting, particularly for the first time, between two, with all family members present. Otherwise if it isn't "arranged" in the latter sense, there is usually a very strong emphasis on family members meeting the 'partner' and their approval is very important, otherwise it is seen as an insult and may bring a rift between some members of the family.
It is not uncommon in some middle eastern/Eurasian orientated families for blood relatives to hold serious grudges based on "insults" such as this that can last years, or sometimes not even repaired in that person's lifetime.
Personally I disagree with the tradition though. People should be free to live their own life and be happy, and that should be what matters the most irrespective of "ancient" traditions passed down.
Obviously one may have a preference to it if there is a strong motive like money.
But how many marriages really work out these days anyway.. Would just cause more problems than benefits.

Isn't marriage an institution created by men, just so they could "officially" sleep with a woman?
No matter how kinky.......it makes it all ok in a God's eye.
To 'love', serve and obey?
On the other hand, some men do realize the importance/blessing of the sacrament.
