War Brides Arranged marriage with female prisoners of war.
Levirate Marriage The marrying of a dead brothers first wife, even if the living brother was already married.
Servant Marriage The arrangement of marriage between servants. In modern culture you have the following institutions:
Marriage Marriage (also called matrimony or wedlock) is a social union or legal contract between people called spouses that creates kinship.
Common Law Marriage - A marriage without a civil or ecclesiastical ceremony, generally resulting from an agreement to live together as husband and wife.
Civil Union A civil union is a legally recognized union similar to marriage..
Domestic Partnership - A domestic partnership is a legal or interpersonal relationship between two individuals who live together and share a common domestic life but are neither joined by marriage nor a civil union. Many domestic partnerships have similar rights and benefits to marriage. Are legal common law marriages, civil unions and registered domestic partnerships acceptable unions in the eyes of God???
If so, why?
If not, why not? |
The OT was all about being fruitful and multiplying, God knew His people faced many enemies.
Does your definition of Domestic Partnership include same sex marriage?
