    No priest? No problem. They lived in the same place together for years, so their marriage must have been Sui juris.

    You don't need a Priest, a Judge, or even a Captain for a Common Law Marriage.

    for one, Adam was given Eve by God as a helper.

    Sin didn't come into play until after they ate of the forbidden fruit.

    Marriage was not defined in the eyes of man, since God gave Eve to Adam, they were married in the eyes of God.

    Read Genesis. You will get all of the answers to this and a bit more.. It is actually very simple. It should take less than 40 minutes to read the whole book of Genesis and be enlightened.

    Adam and Eve never got married,They had se* before marriage which made god mad. They were disobedient,They ate the apple off the tree when god told them not to touch anything. The devil persuaded them to eat the apple because it'll make them into something good and so she did but the apple was poisoning.

    That is why 'Don't have se* before marriage is a religion phrase. Adam and Eve didn't have no clothes on so they did it and they weren't suppose to.

    Wrong. First many religions have ordained clergy who are empowered to perform marriages not just the Catholic Church. More importantly, Adam and Eve were bound to each other by God, which is still what happens in a religious marriage is today.

    >Chuckle! Even though I don't believe in Adam and Eve, guess what? WHO was in the Garden of Eden first?????? <Psht! Hint...HINT! G...o...d... ------>>> Yeah, God was the one who married them. What the heck do you need a priest for when you have the Big Man doing it? Hmmm? Logic - common sense - shift into gear ---think! LOL...

    Adam and Eve is a mythlogical story...about as true as the Three Little Bears or Repunzel or Cinderella...

    God gave Adam a wife in Eve. Think of God as the pastor.

    What about the marriage license, did god also invent paper and pencils about that time? And what language was the license written in, and what did Adam use for a ring? Christians never think about these things.
