The term "Jumping The Broom" is deeply rooted in witchcraft and really is not as much about marriage as it is about fertility and the growing of crops. The term "Tie The Knot," also of pagan origin, is all about marriage or the wedding. Jumping the broom was, and still is, a ritual done at weddings to increase the fertility of the couple whom just tied Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077530459754301475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431886397922439639.post-88552984473585834892008-09-14T19:06:00.000-04:002008-09-14T19:06:00.000-04:00I'm a Christian, and agree that a marriage is abou...I'm a Christian, and agree that a marriage is about more than the wedding plans and living in la-la land, as you aptly put it, but your critic was obviously missing the point of a fun, informative blog page.

This stems from a spirit of pride; not wanting to submitt to God or anyone else's authority. To the degree we come under authority is to the degree we will receive authority. Through submitting to one another we learn to be meek and humble. This is the only way we become above reproach.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174445661138254260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431886397922439639.post-32111472308812600172008-09-12T23:25:00.000-04:002008-09-12T23:25:00.000-04:00First time here, and I must say, sorry you got suc...First time here, and I must say, sorry you got such a rude comment. I don't talk about religion on my blog, and although I read many blogs that do, they have no bearing about how I feel towards the blogger. Some people like to keep their religion to themselves and others should respect that.
