Lobola vs The Wedding

--:--
In the last 2 episodes we were talking about pre marital sex and how christian couples who are dating can deal with the temtation to have sex before marriage. So now you have survived the temptation and you want to make your relationship official so you can "Obey the Thirst", how should it be done? What is marriage and its intended purpose, and what should be considered for a union to be identified as a marriage?What is the biblical stance on lobola, should Africans who are christians still be practicing and observing this tradition?Can a couple then consider themselves married after completing the lobola ceremony? Or does God only consider the marriage covenant after the “White wedding”?Why does it seem like the Church only recorgnises a marriage when a coupe has had a "white wedding ceremony", and how can this be addressed?
