What Do You Think Of A Year Honeymoon As Written In The Old Testament? by Xion: 12:14pm On Sep 22, 2013
I was reading through the Bible one day when I found this strange verse,

Deuteronomy 24:5 MSG

When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army or be given any business or work duties. He gets one year off simply to be at home making his wife happy.

I thought the Message translation was playing tricks on me till I checked other versions.

What is your view on it? Honest opinions needed

We ll agree if the woman doesnt complain and not compare us with her friend's rich husband during that period. Lol

Um...I believe that verse is referring to the man's duties to the state. I don't think there is any leave from his role as the provider of his family. He would still need to tend to his farm, if he has one, and do some other personal chores.

My thoughts are in the same direction, but seriously a year sounds like forever

That was then, this is now. You can take a year off work if you own Conoil,otherwise the woman will be the one to chase the man out to look for bread cheesy
