marriage

In my introduction to this forum, I briefly talked about how my wife Natalie gained a testimony of plural marriage, and felt called to live it before even I did. Once I finally confirmed that it is of God and that we should live it as a family, we met a girl who is almost identical age to my...

Greetings! We live in Idaho, have 4 young children on our horse ranch in the mountains, and happy to be here. My wife Natalie will be creating an account here shortly. We were invited by an existing member of this website. It has been very difficult to find a gathering of people who actually...

POLYGAMY IN THE LAW OF GOD - ANSWERING QUESTIONS We know that besides what is addressed in God's Law, there are economic, cultural, historical, and even theological arguments to explain why God allowed male polygamy and - supposedly - prohibited it later. In part 1 of this text, we dealt with...

Polygamy in the Law of God – P1 The issue of male polygamy (a man with more than one wife) is recurrent in church history, with treatises ranging from contextual acceptance (such as Luther accepting and even approving a king's bigamy) to complete demonization of the subject (as seen in much of...

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE (P1) Now, it is essential for us to understand that marriage is a contract, and not a sexual relationship. Already in Genesis 2, we have proof of this when it is said about marriage that a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, that is, she is his wife...

The foundation that is usually accepted regarding the New Testament and is almost always ignored in the Old is that God relates to His people through covenants (not just for periods, but for contracts). But not just any covenant, not a covenant of king and servant: on the contrary, a marriage...

Could you, members, to help me translate a book about marriage to English? Below I've posted the manuscript of the book, and you can comment the corrections. Next week I can post more.

We've had a few women join BF and they're curious about poly. Just wanted to share some thoughts on the subject and I am inviting the other ladies to weigh in and offer their thoughts too. I am addressing this to the women who are curious about poly and specifically interested in becoming a...

USA Today article: What is Modern Monogamy? I posted for thoughts and comments. I hadn't heard the term before; the concept sure, it's been around for some time.

I would like to get some feedback on a topic I have not seen on here yet. This is somewhat multi facetted... It also seemed like it could be offensive to some, so I gave it the "Meat" prefix. First: Understanding that a woman who is not lawfully divorced by her husband (but they are separated)...

I just wanted to share this podcast episode. I think it is very important for both husbands and wives. If I could change one thing, I would ask that they define "high maintenance." They added a reading list at the end of the episode and I thought I would collect links on those for those...

Some here might find this of interest, on the regular Torah portion for this week, "Bereshiet" (Genesis 1:1 through 6:8) and specifically the nature of 'authority'. https://markniwot.com/?p=2495 These are also posted on Hebrew Nation Radio...

Hello guys! Now I have a site where you can read a little bit of theology. You can click with the right mouse button and choose "translate to English" (using Google Chrome), and you will read some texts about God's Law and soon about marriage also. Just follow the link...

I have written a "book" about polygyny in the bible, it has 137 pages and I've published it on Amazon using a pseudonym [Xenos Magos] (Link: https://www.amazon.com/-/pt/dp/B0B8...ing=UTF8&qid=1660132938&sr=8-6&language=en_US). The problem is that I do not know enough to translate it into...

"Hello World!" (It should be a joke). I have written a "book" about polygyny in the bible, it has 137 pages and I've published it on Amazon using a pseudonym [Xenos Magos] (Link: https://www.amazon.com/-/pt/dp/B0B8VFR856/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1660132938&sr=8-6&language=en_US)...

Looking for advice from fathers of daughters and what would you do? **edit @The Revolting Man his reply made me realize I left out some important info. Just so you know and I failed to mention this, it was the S.I.L. who came up with the covenant. The F.I.L. asked him "are you sure you want...

I am looking for ideas of how others have sought and looked to God as a couple to strengthen their marriages. What ideas might you suggest that could be used to make God the focus of the marriage as a couple. Of course, reading The Bible together and praying together come to mind. I also...
