Subject: What is or is not a Biblical marriage? |
Bible Note: Brother Doc, I noticed the lack of "consummation" as well. It makes one wonder if God intended marriage to be more than simply a joining of the flesh, such as a joining of the spirit. I see a direct parallel with Christ and His bride. Am I off base on this? WOS |
