Hello everyone. I am new here, but in the past few months, God has been revealing a ton to me about sex, marriage, and plural marriage. In the process, I am trying to determine his will for our lives, but am running into major conflicts with my...

If I am as full of pride as the one I am avoiding, I need to repent! Thanks for calling me out... I will pray about it.

Whether "forced into sex" or "gladly jumping into bed with" sex - the instruction is still the same. Go to the father. When, of course the father says "gimme da money", and "no, you may not have my daughter" - my suspicion is he is given...

What makes a marriage? Agreement, without agreement there is no marriage. If a woman agrees to have sex for $20, that’s the sum total of the agreement. If she (and her father, if she is under his covering) agrees to have sex as the beginning...

I am not talking about formalities associated with human governments. I am speaking of the process we see in scripture. This has been rehashed over and over. Scripture is clear. A man who convinces a woman to sleep with him still has to get her...
