Remember that Satan's other name is the Accuser.

Also, that the Lord did not think highly of the Pharisees.

I do feel that God likes promises. I will strive to keep mine!

.
Why structure modern relationships upon what people two thousand years ago thought or wrote about "what god wants"?

Do we actually follow the ancient "religious laws" regarding all civil matters, criminal punishment, dress, personal grooming, health and medicine, transportation, inheritance, food production and preparation, property ownership, communication, etc?

If not, why single out relationship / marriage or S E X U A L matters for special supposed consideration?

Are divorce and remarriage rates lower for religious people than for non-religious? If not, what is the value of the ancient prohibitions?

Indeed, which is why I keep saying that I think you ought to look at individual circumstances, and see what you think. It's entirely possible that some of these ladies were left, and had little say in the matter.

One big reason is that God does not change, and (secondly) soon we must face Him.

So in choosing, including a mate, I want to choose wisely.
