At the same time we have seen women decide to leave men who wanted more than one wife....but at the time was the "stat at home dad" while she worked in the medical field. I think women need the rest that home affords, and men are better equipped...

I agree. Proverbs 14:1, The wise woman builds her house, ... . The household is the primary focus for the wife, yet working and investing is fine as we see in Proverbs 31. Each family situation needs wise leadership to know what is right, and the...

Certainly scripture doesn't dictate the man must be sole or majority earner/provider. But again, it's one of those things where some go beyond what is written and create difficulties for others.

Nice 👍 Unlike Ted Cruz you know what you are talking about. 😉 The root blessing is the Genesis 12 passage to Abraham and his Seed, but you are correct that it is confirmed and repeated elsewhere to Israel. The Jews who belong to Christ are...

The first thing I’m going to say is patience is a virtue. My husband’s first wife put it this way right. He took her two to three years of discussion before she was ready to look and then they found a second. It has taken her a long time to get...

In Balaam's oracle he said, "Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you." Isaac blessed Jacob saying, "Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be those who bless you!”
