In the Bible it speaks of Adultery and Fornication?
What are your views of the two terms? If one is married through "God's Eye" and not by laws of man, How can the two be different?

You get married through Gods eyes by making a covenant with Him and your wife to be! If that covenant is broken you are divorced. The law is just a bunch documents. But the word of God says to obey the law of the land so we do and we sign the papers indicating we are married!

It's as pure as baptism. I can't explain why rituals work as Christians have since the beginning with John baptizing Jesus with water. Water is good for the soul and body. Marriage is a light or halo unification of two people. I overlooked it for a long while and then I came to terms with real love and it being pure needs to be pure. Bad luck happens if your steered in other directions if you know already about god. I was punished in god's way to show just how important marriage is. If I were wiser I could have gotten married years ago.
In history terms, Mary Magdalene the prostitute had a good heart. She weeped on Jesus' feet and dried it with her hair, and Jesus told her "your sins are forgiven you, go away and sin no more" She was sad and very happy. When he died on the cross his mother said she's part of their family to go nearer. This explains how people are redeemed with faith.

Adultery = having sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex outside marriage. Fornication = unlawful sexual intercourse. The key word is "unlawful". If God deems you as married then, you are not sinning if you are having sex with your husband (in God's sight). The sin would be in not acquiring the necessary legal paper work managed by your local government, that registers you as a couple, as man and wife.

God..............forever
man......until a more appealing spouse comes along
adultery and fornication apply to that which is outside of the marriage......what is within it is undefiled.........
HOW can they be the SAME?
Either a couple ARE married and committed for a lifetime, or they are not.............either they preserve, protect and guard one another or they do not.
It is not so hard to understand that God does not "bless" all unions. To think that He does is a grave mistake.........just look at the divorce records..........
What God has joined together........let NO MAN put asunder.

Both are sexual sins violating the body.
Adultery involves at least one married person who is sexually engaged with someone who is not the marriage partner; fornication involves sexual engagement between two unmarried persons.

When somebody says they're married "in God's eye" the god they are referring to is usually themselves.
Once upon a time, there was no such thing as legal marriage and no such thing as church marriage. There was only social marriage. That's still the only kind that matters.

I'm starting to see a common 'thread' running through your questions.
Sounds like you think your married, but your not.
Sounds like he needs to get a job.
Sounds like he cheated on you.
Sounds like you want to know if your married, should you "divorce him"
And this sounds like you almost think your a christian.
Am I getting warm?
