it is a sacred bond between a man and a woman and you should always try to work out your problems....God should always be a part of your marriage. Divorce isn't looked upon kindly, but you would never get banned or treated poorly for being divorced, they just want you to work things out before you give up.

There is no reason why a Seventh-day Adventist can not marry on the Sabbath. However it is usually discouraged, both because the Sabbath is frequently filled with other activities centred on the church - so if the church had to be decorated and used for the wedding those other activities would have to be suspended, and also because a wedding usually involves activities that are considered incompatible with Sabbath observance. The bride wants to have her hair dressed, last minute arrangements have to be made for cars, the reception, the cake, the photographer, and so on, all of which would detract from the peace and the communion with God that is the essence of Sabbath-keeping.

However if there is some reason why no other day is suitable, there is no law in The Bible or in church rules which would forbid a wedding on the Sabbath.

While some conservative Adventists may wish to have a list of dos and don'ts for the Sabbath, the Church itself does not really have such a list. For the most part the determinations of what is right to do on the Sabbath is an individual choice between the individual and God. Most Adventists do not do their normal business such as work (with some exceptions) or shopping etc. on Sabbath. As for birthday parties--I would say that most family type birthdays parties would be acceptable to the majority of Adventists. I know having been raised SDA it was never an issue. Weddings would be the same. Adventists usually do not dance or drink but I know I have attending weddings on Sabbath that I feel very comfortable attending. The "Church service" would never be a problem. The reception afterward may cause some pause depending on the type of reception etc.

Can a Seventh Day Adventist celebrate a birthday on Sabbath?

In keeping with observance of the Holy Sabbath day, secular activities, to include birthday parties are discouraged. There are occasions when we may recognize birthdays, anniversaries, baby births, and etc. at church on Sabbath. During the fellowship meal, we may have a cake or the like to honor those from a public standpoint, but this in no way denotes a secular activity. -Pastor Michael A.D. Smith

Can a Seventh-day Adventist have a reception on the Sabbath?

I have asked myself this question also, and have come to the conclusion through study and family guidance that, as a Seventh-day Adventist, a reception would not be advisable on the Sabbath, because the things that people do during receptions such as dancing and celebrating the couple and worldly traditions are not really Sabbath activities, and because the focus is not on God.
