Wedding and Marriage Dilemma

As a minister, would you do a wedding for a couple who you know pretty sure that the marriage wouldn’t last?

As a minister, would you do a wedding for a couple who were not believers?

As a minister, do you do funerals for people who are unbelievers?

As a health care worker, would you treat someone who you knew wasn’t going to live?

Well I did…My friends would have gotten married anyway.  I even counseled the woman to really consider “do you know what you are getting into?” Or pretty much knowing that this would not last…   Now I am mediating so the couple can have the best divorce possible.   There is so much anger and fury between them. I am a divorce counselor trying to have them play like adults with two young kids in the balance.

If I did not do the wedding in the first place, they may have not had any guidance at all.  I am not surprised with this outcome…I am thankful that I can speak truth into their lives.

By the way, as a former medic…I felt it was my duty to treat someone even though I knew the outcome was grim.  It is not my call to walk away from someone even though the outcome was bleak.
