David had an entire harem.Each marriage is one at a time. One man. One woman. That a culture allowed a man to have many marriages, each one was still between one man and one woman.
And all marriages were for the same purpose to establish clear bloodlines and right of inheritance of any progeny and the rights, and sometimes benefits, to the parties involved.
Another question you didn't answer.Well Trump living rent free in your head isn't breaking one of the 10 commandments.Now troll off to some other thread junior.
Without religion there would be no marriage.Wrong.
This concerns only state marriage contract law, having nothing to do with religion.
Because that’s the law since government decided they somehow for some reason needed to be involved. It had no bearing on the actual ceremony or the function of the event. It was just red tape so they could collect 15 bucks.Yet you went to the trouble to get one, why is that?
No they aren’t and that’s the point. They have no business in defining what a marriage is. That’s Gods territory.All the marriage license is just registration of the contract. The state isn't party to the marriage contract.
I think soSome women enjoy it. Are they wrong for doing so?

The 50% failure rate is a statistical myth, only accepted by Leftists. Marriage is a life-long commitment, so it is IMPOSSIBLE TO STATE, for example, THE FAILURE RATE OF MARRIAGES IN 1973 until all of those people are dead.
50% is probably a fairly accurate estimate, but that's all it can be until all of the marriages in a given timeframe are ended by either death or divorce.
I am currently in year 52.
It has benefits in dealing with the government for sure. It has absolutely no bearing on the institution itself. Everything the government does for married people God already had covered.It is not the law. There is no law that says you must have your marriage recognized by the Govt.
You were free to call yourself married and have the church say you were married and just forgo all that stuff the Govt gives you for buying a license and having your marriage recognized as a civil marriage.
If you could be honest for just one minute you would have to admit you wanted those things that are attached to a civil marriage.
I think so
If you were thinking clearly you would too
But the modern culture of sexual perversion has its grip on you
The state made that law. Not the church.then how do you answer the Q re: the fact that no one can be married by any member of the clergy/religious institution without a marriage license issued by the state?
huh huh HUH???

You do realize we have to participate in these government mandated functions right?

i was married by a JP. is my marriage any less valid? what about someone being married by a universalist preacher? what about a fundie mormon LDS clergy person? is it just APPROVED ones that are valid?
huh huh HUH???
I don’t get your point here. Because the government can deny you financial benefits for not playing their game does that make them greater than God?Can you show me where God covered your spouse getting benefits from your social security? or where God has your ability to file a joint tax return covered?
You do not have to participate in Govt sanctioned marriage. You could have gotten married in front of your church and left it at that and forgone the civil benefits of being married, which have ZERO to do with any god.
Apparently those marriages only count if government approved. Isn’t that your point? You only think your marriage is solid if the government signed off on it.i was married by a JP. is my marriage any less valid? what about someone being married by a universalist preacher? what about a fundie mormon LDS clergy person? is it just APPROVED ones that are valid?
huh huh HUH???
STFU.How were you harmed?
