According to the bible are our parents and siblings still considered family once we're married?

All people are part of God's family.  He is our father.  We are all brothers and sisters.\n\nReligion attempts to formulate our relationships with one another and with God.  Relationships are real.  Prophets are concerned about how we treat one another and get along with one another.  People come closer to God by coming closer to one another.\n\nChurches are big on preaching what to do, but churches (all of them) are human institutions and flawed.  Churches are often the worst when it comes to practicing what is preached.\n\nSo a true prophet is interested in our relationships, and in people.  Churchs are interested in the business side, the money, the rules, the restrictions.  God never intended to start any business.

It was God's plan for the members of the family to be associated in work and study, in worship and recreation, the father as priest of his household, and both father and mother as teachers and companions of their children. But the results of sin, having changed the conditions of life, to a great degree prevent this association. Often the father hardly sees the faces of his children throughout the week. He is almost wholly deprived of opportunity for companionship or instruction. But God's love has set a limit to the demands of toil. Over the Sabbath He places His merciful hand. In His own day He preserves for the family opportunity for communion with Him, with nature, and with one another.\n\n"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;" Leviticus 23:3\n\nLook at the fourth commandment, a part of it is for us to work and the other part is for us keep the seventh day holy - Saturday.

To what extent do the limits on marriage between relatives set out in the Mosaic Law apply to Christians today?\n\nThe Law given by Jehovah to the nation of Israel has little to say about wedding ceremonies and procedures. It does, however, set out prohibitions against certain marriage relationships. For example, at Leviticus 18:6-20, we find a list of prohibited relations involving a “close fleshly relative.” That passage goes into considerable detail outlining which fleshly relatives must not enter into sexual relations with each other. Of course, Christians are not under the Mosaic Law or bound by its decrees. (Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14) Even so, this does not mean that Christians can simply ignore this matter when choosing whom to marry. There are a number of reasons why this is the case.\n\nTo begin with, there are secular laws that regulate marriage between close relatives, and Christians are basically obligated to obey the laws of the land in which they live. (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:1) Such laws, of course, vary from place to place. Most modern laws of this type are based primarily on genetic considerations. It is a known fact that marriage between close fleshly relatives is more likely to expose any offspring to genetic defects and diseases. For this reason and because of their “subjection to the superior authorities,” Christians entering into marriage abide by the local marriage laws.\n\nThen there is the matter of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in the community in which one lives. Almost every culture has rules and customs that censure marriage between people who are closely related by blood, often viewing such unions as incestuous and hence taboo. Even though the specific relationships proscribed may vary greatly in different cultures, “generally speaking, the closer the genetic relationship between two people, the stronger and more highly charged is the taboo prohibiting or discouraging sexual relations between them,” says The Encyclopædia Britannica. Thus, even where no incestuous relationships are involved, Christians do not want to act with total disregard for established customs or the legitimate sensibilities of the community, so as not to bring reproach on the Christian congregation or on God’s name.—2 Corinthians 6:3.\n\nNot to be overlooked is our God-given conscience. All people are born with a sense of right and wrong, good and bad. (Romans 2:15) Their conscience tells them what is normal and proper and what is unnatural and offensive, unless it has been distorted or deadened by perverted practices. Jehovah alluded to this fact when he gave the Israelites his law against marriage between close fleshly relatives. We read: “The way the land of Egypt does, in which you dwelt, you must not do; and the way the land of Canaan does, into which I am bringing you, you must not do; and in their statutes you must not walk.” (Leviticus 18:3) Christians treasure their Bible-based conscience and do not allow it to be corrupted by the twisted sense of right and wrong of the nations.—Ephesians 4:17-19.\n\nWhat, then, can we conclude? While Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, their conscience tells them clearly that marriage between close fleshly relatives—such as father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister—is totally unacceptable in the Christian community. As the circle of kinship expands, Christians recognize that there are laws and statutes that govern legal marriage and that there are standards that are socially and culturally acceptable. These must be taken into careful consideration so that we can comply with the Scriptural injunction: “Let marriage be honorable among all.”—Hebrews 13:4.

Sonstraal,\n\nEvery decision is best made based on the principles and direction of the Word of God; however, there are things that just aren’t covered in the Bible. Should you take a certain job or buy a house or move to a different city, etc.\n\nThere are guidelines for relationships in the Bible, and when we choose to violate them, there are consequences. I’m old enough to be your father, so let me tell you from a father’s perspective that, when it comes to relationships, parents often have a very keen sense about who is “right” for you. Parents have God given insight into our children’s character and the character of their potential mate, and we can see if the match is correct.\n\nEven if your parents are pleased with a certain match, you are the one who has to live with your choice. When you reach marriage age, you are old enough to make your own choices and hopefully your parents have prepared you by their example and their words to make wise choices.\n\nYou really should get your parents OK and God’s OK before proceeding with plans to marry. Many traditions are outdated or incorrect, but the tradition of a young man asking a father’s permission to marry his daughter was a good tradition, but regrettably it is out of vogue.\n\nIf you look around you at the people who “loved” each other and later divorced, you will take any godly advice that you can get before you marry.\n\nGod bless.

Yes, if you believe that the whole of history is contained in the Bible, then, he would have to have married his sister.  However, it could be that a generation or two had actually passed, or, that there were other people around from other tribes... in which case, it could also be his cousin.

The Bible doesn't mention it. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're married, there's nothing wrong with what you do.

In the strictest religious terms yes. But when does a marriage really start after we sign to tell everyone else that we are married, or when we know it for our selves.

The answer by Temp19 was going well but stumbled.  Please allow me to add to it.  Cain married a sister most likely, but definitely a member of his own family. Once Adam and Eve sinned, they "began to die."  The people who were supposed to live forever now were subject to aging, disease etc.  After many generations this sinfulness deteriorated the bodies to the point that God commanded Moses to instruct family members NOT to marry.  The two creations are not inconsistent with one another.  There is a story of creation of the world (macro version if you will) and the focus of the creation of Adam and Eve (micro version if you will allow).  Hope this helps.

No. As you have pointed out clearly with the scripture reference.\n\n"For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven."

I am a Christian and my hubby and I got married in a courthouse. I wasn't pregnant or anything, we just decided it was time to get married. It had no effect on my relationship with God, and in fact parts of the Bible were said at our ceremony. It was blessed by God and I truly believe that.

Good question! \n\nFirst of all, they didn't have any children until they were expelled from the Garden.\n\nIt would SEEM that the brothers and sisters would have to marry each other (ick), since the Bible says this is the only family on Earth.\n\nOf course, when Cain murdered Abel, the Bible also says that he went off to live with people in the land of Nod . . . so where did those people come from?!?!\n\nWhat?  The Bible internally inconsistent?!?!?  Shocking!!!

I agree with you.  If a man with a forgiven heart calls God "Father," can't I call that same man, "Brother?"  After all, if we're forgiven don't we all have the same heavenly Father?

absolutely NOT!!! there are passages in the Bible that clearly state that when Cain left, he married into another people and he had a son, Enoch. These other people were NOT descendants of Adam and Eve. Otherwise, the entire human race would be the result of incest.
