Anxiety about eloping

Hello

For a few years I've had fear that god will throw my worst fears at me if I did sex before marriage so I waited

However me and my partner eloped last Friday,we had our parents blessing and did it cause we wanted to wait for my mother to be full health after battling a sickness before we did a big celebration. So we decided to elope for now with a magistor of the court

However I have anxiety that it doesn't count as marriage to god and it's man made some how

Thank you for reading

Thank you 🙂

So is being married under Australian law from eloping count in god's eyes?

of course! Eloping is just not having the party, all the rest is the same, legally and morally.

I read that it counts as long as the government doesn't dismiss the greater laws of god

Does that count for same sex marriages? Like would that still mean being married under a government that says yes to that counts?

Sorry my anxiety picks at every little detail 😞

Or better yet does it follow northern territory since I believe it has different laws

if you are not in a same sex marriage then I am sure you can be confident that your moral considerations are being met. Only the people in same sex marriages need to worry about same sex marriage. The legal and moral considerations around marriage of two people of opposite sex have not changed

Thank you 🙂

I guess I'm just trying to prove to my anxiety I'm in the right

Northern territory I believe is commonwealth so it follows the queens law who believes in god

So being legally marriage by roman 13 1-7 should count for northern territory as it follows god's laws I think

sometimes we have to listen to our logic and not the stories our anxiety tells us
