"Biblical Marriage"
"Biblical marriage is between one man and one woman."
No, it's not.
• Biblical marriage is between (among) one man, one woman, and that woman's slave (Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar).
• Biblical marriage is between (among) one man and two sisters after he works seven years for each of them (Jacob, Rachel, and Leah).
• Biblical marriage is between (among) one man, his wives, his master's wives given to him by God, and the wife of a man he murdered (King David).
• Biblical marriage is between (among) one man, 700 wives, and 300 concubines (King Solomon).
The majority of marriages depicted in the Bible are between (a) one man and multiple wives or between (b) a man and an underage girl who had been bought with money.
