Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Good afternoon sir,
Thanks for asking. Things are much the same but we had another clash about it last night by my prompting. I had her read the verses aloud to me, and she does not deny them but maintains they were done for Hebrew society and...
