Amish Wedding Advice

Amish Wedding Advice

First of all, require two guarantors to fill the prerequisite of eligibility for marriage. Realize many Amish bishops do not follow the chastity rule of the Bible; they don't understand it. That is why they have passed off unchaste women to men, women who have had incest or experienced molestation in some form, girls or women who have received a previous marital deposit.

Learn by taking a quiz:

Are you eligible to date? 
      female
      male                      
          virginity and chastity required quiz: 
               no fornication

Actually, I do not think the Amish have a good community due their fornication and lack of chastity discipline. If a married man defiled the daughter of his neighbor, he must not be allowed to commit polygamy and take her for a second wife. He should be responsible for her having to live single as long as he lives: It is fornication when an unclean woman marries another man.

Therefore, he should have to pay her father a sum of money over time to keep the girl in good condition as to food, clothing and shelter for as long as he lives. However, giving such a man a mere six-week ban (cheap-sex penalty) from the community is not sufficient. When the bishop praises those under him who do not violate the horse and buggy rules but tolerates fornication and abuse, it is time to re-think the values of the Amish doctrine. I do not blame men and women leaving their community for righteous reasons.
