    Anything more than "adopted auntie" or being a godparent to the children might be weird. *shrugs*

    MrB replied to the thread Solomon The Wisest Man To Live.
    You make me laugh. (Suggesting Solomon ,arguably the wisest man that lived and had 700 wives and 300 concubines ,was stupid in love life) And this suggestion comes from you a man with how many wives and concubines? I beginning to think you are...

    This pain and tears always accompany growth. Attachment style information has helped me understand what uncomfortable steps are likely to get me to the closeness I crave....but run from. *shakes head* we all have our struggles.

    I applaud your openness. It’s hard to put your thoughts and raw feelings out there to others that you do not know. Though I am still an only wife, my husband has dated over the years and I have had my share of negative responses. (All of the...

    Children are sometimes good ambassadors. Our youngest daughter just LOVED the woman that joined our family (honestly we all did). Our daughter and her son got along very well too, playing with old fashioned imagination. My sisterwife got to...

    I'm sorry. Sometimes the things you say are so crazy, I honestly can't tell whether you're joking. Everyone here is in agreement on the issue of plural marriage, but to outsiders, the topic is so taboo, it's practically a guaranteed way to end a...

    Maybe you guys are missing the whole point of Duet 17:15-18 Deu 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger...

    My sisterwife feels the benefits for single moms are not talked about enough. It is a viable option for some, and probably a terrible idea for others. The social pressure from other believers is maybe the worst thing. Some accept it. After...

    Even if you succeed here....it doesn't mean she understands your intentions. She may just think you are secure, and she is safe FROM being seen as an object of your affections. I like a line from the movie "Mrs. Harris goes to Paris." The old...

    So, in this interpretation, does sex=marriage? What are examples of fornication or sexual immorality for a man or a woman that would be forbidden or is it strictly those acts in Leviticus? I am clear in understanding that adultery is based on...

    Yes, I think the two of you are right. It may be only a brief interaction, and I need to be patient. It's been hard because she lives far away and I only see her once a month. But I think you're right that only a brief introduction and letting...

    Joleneakamama reacted to frederick's post in the thread Greetings from the south! with Heart Heart.
    Yes! The Greek word is πορνεία and it is defined biblically as any illicit sexual activity. What sets the bounds for appropriate sexual activity is the Word of God, and anything outside that is illicit; πορνεία. A man having sexual relations with...

    Fornication is a difficult word to understand. Many of us have struggled with it. Modernity has turned it into a catch all phrase to mean anything involving sex. Some of us try to resolve the ambiguity by referring back to the actual manual on...

    I would love to have some very thorough research. I have a very inquisitive mind so a simple blanket statement is not typically enough (ironic since my current belief is based on what I was taught growing up and didn’t take the time to further...
