Re: What is marriage?
I have noticed that the Old Testament is vague on the consummation of marriage. They took them wives, is pretty much the depth of information given about the ceremony of officiating marriage. The Old Testament men viewed wives as property that came with a mutual responsibility of being a provider/processor. I feel like that act of taking a wife in ancient times was similar to buying property where the only people involved in officiating was the seller(father of daughter) and the buyer(groom). I personally think it would be more biblical that the father of then brides where the one’s officiating in marriage ceremonies. I am not teaching on that of coarse, but I find it interesting.
