It’s the qualifier, you have to squint hard in order to see past it. Otherwise it has no meaning.

Are you referring to Leviticus 18:18; Nor shall you take a woman as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive? This command forbids taking a woman as a rival to her sister not marrying two women who are sisters...

The passage in 1 Cor. 7:4 is specific to the husband and the wife. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. The wife does not...

I think it is far better if we figure it is a 100%-100%. We don't want to be like children (are we there yet? How much do I haaave to do?) So fulfilling our duties as best we can.....without keeping score.....is likely the best.

@MeganC and @Joleneakamama I wasn't really talking about how much effort husband and wife put into marriage (and I agree with your statements). I was talking about roles. Marriage is a covenant not an equal partnership. The husband is the...

It never is. Because sometimes it's an 80-20 proposition and some other times it's a 20-80 thing. There are also times when someone is sick or dying and it's 99-1 with one person carrying almost everything. But on the whole and over time it...

I think many men take that vow in ignorance, or sometimes with complete sincerity at the time. Which is completely fine. While I do you like the idea of plural marriage, I can also see the appeal of monogamy, and I actually believe that some...

It is a vow that the wife should make, but the husband shouldn't. Marriage isn't an equal partnership. 🤫 I'm not sure what to think about situations where the husband (like myself) has taken this improper vow. The terms and conditions of the...

As a relative newcomer myself, I’ve spent several evenings scouring threads for different insights on this topic. I know there are a lot of opinions on this one, so please feel free to select more than one option and to sound off in the...

I would agree that adultery is sin but why is the vow not enumerated in scripture?

Operative words there are "have to". EDIT: If you choose to when you don't have to, you are just stupid.
