Living a Deanic Life

Thank you for this wonderful site. I have recently accepted Mother God into my life and have found your site inspirational and useful in answering some of the questions I have. Since I am "new" to the faith there are some practical things that I have been wondering about, especially with regards to lifestyle and daily actions. The question I have today has to do with guidelines for living a life that is pleasing to our Mother. I have read some of the sections on werde, but would like to be more clear on how we go about in our daily lives doing good and doing what is "right". My second question is with regards to partnership with another person. What does the faith say about marriage and partnership? I could not find anything about this on the site, so if you could provide some answers to this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your kind appreciation. It is important to state that this site does not represent any "church" or congregation. While we strive to give information about the Faith, it is not our place to lay down rules or anything of that kind. The Scriptures give guidance in general terms for how one should live - gently, kindly and with purity of thought and action. Specific rules on things like marriage are inherently part of the life of a community, and we do not represent any particular community. We are not in any way criticizing communities or their rules of life, but that is not the function of this site. So we would simply stay with the broad Scriptural injunctions. Be kind. Be pure. Be gentle. We believe food should be blessed or offered before eating it. You can use the blessings in the Gospel book for that, although they are not prescriptive. You may want to say one or more of the daily offices in the Gospel appendix as well. None of these are rules or prescriptions, but they are suggestions you may want to follow. Once again, I would state that this is not a New-Age anarchistic "anti-rule" approach. It is simply that rules are part of the life of a community and we do not represent a particular community.
