Totally ruined it. I might as well just open a thread.

Awesome, have got to share this.

Lalasticlala hasn't seen this yet, else he would have done something about that.

Many of us may find some of them funny tho...

As a pastor, over the years I had my fair share of people approach me to find out if we were a "courtship" church or a "dating" church. The people invariably would tell me that their approach was "the biblical way." I eventually become leery of such claims given that the Bible does not say much about how to find a wife, or does it? Perhaps you've seen this list floating around the world-wide-web, but it's worth reviewing because it makes a very important point. So here it is, 16 ways to find a wife according to the Bible:

1) Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she’s yours. (Deut. 21:11-13)

2) “Lay hold on” a virgin who is not betrothed to another man, and "know" her, but afterwards pay her father a sum of money. Then she’s yours. (Deut. 22:28-29)

3) Find a prostitute and marry her. (Hosea 1:1-3)

4) Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock.--Moses (Ex. 2:16-21)

5) Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal.--Boaz (Ruth 4:5-10)

6) Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife.--Benjaminites (Judges 21:19-25)

7) Have God create a wife for you while you sleep. Note: this will cost you a rib.--Adam (Gen. 2:19-24)

Agree to work seven years in exchange for a woman’s hand in marriage. Get tricked into marrying the wrong woman. Then work another seven years for the woman you wanted to marry in the first place. That’s right. Fourteen years of toil for a wife.--Jacob (Gen. 29:15-30)

9) Cut 200 foreskins off of your future father-in-law’s enemies and get his daughter for a wife.--David (1 Sam. 18:27)

10) Even if no one is out there, just wander around a bit and you’ll definitely find someone.--Cain (Gen. 4:16-17)

11) Become the emperor of a huge nation and hold a beauty contest.--Xerxes or Ahasuerus (Esther 2:3-4)

12) When you see someone you like, go home and tell your parents, “I have seen a woman; now get her for me.” If your parents question your decision, simply say, “Get her for me. She’s the one for me.”--Samson (Judges 14:1-3)

13) Kill any husband and take HIS wife. (Prepare to lose four sons though.)--David (2 Sam. 11)

14) Wait for your brother to die. Take his widow. (It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!)--Onan and Boaz (Deut. or Lev., example in Ruth)

15) Don’t be so picky. Make up for quality with quantity.--Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-3)

16) A wife?--Paul (1st Corinthians, chapter 7)
Obviously, this list was written with humor in mind, and some of these "ways," are not prescriptive but descriptive of the sinful ways that God's people have conducted themselves in the past--they are in no way exemplary. But this does demonstrate an important point--people often want the Bible to say certain things, such as how to find a spouse and marry, but they ignore portions of Scripture that don't fit their paradigm. The Bible has more to say about arranged marriages, for example, than it does "courtship" or dating. So then, how do we proceed?

We have to realize that the Bible does not speak to every issue we will face in life. Just ask Solomon, who had to use wisdom when the two prostitutes came to him claiming to both be the mother of one child. We must follow those things that God has given us. In all of our relationships we have the obligation to exercise the fruit of the Spirit and not mistreat anyone, that is especially true for a prospective spouse. We also have the clear biblical command that a Christian is free to marry whomever he or she chooses, so long as the prospective mate is "in the Lord" (1 Cor. 7.39). But in the end, choosing a spouse calls for wisdom

there is no subordinate anywhere bro. We are all the same. Cus I'm sure it wouldn't sound good if I should call guys subordinate too. We all need ourselves. A married man and woman are partners. Equal ♒

It's people like you who cause imbalance in this world. I won't reply you again.

Marcus01:
lol I'm just educating you. Women are not inferior. We are all equal. And don't ask for what you can't give. Marriage is give and take. Treat your spouse the same way you'd love to be treated

If you had taken the time to think about my initial post about women being subordinates to their heads according to the Bible, you would have seen that I never meant that in a derogatory way. Not all subordinates are treated with disrespect. You only read to reply/fire instead of understanding.

Marcus01:
Braine, come and learn oh. You need to communicate with your partner. Partner is the keyword. Not slave. Be looking for submission.

Oga, free me Na.

Marcus01:
for real, you need to get married to a submissive woman on time. Before you give yourself hypertension and die. She's going to giv you the manners and submission you're looking for. Idiot.

Why you come carry this matter for head like gala? No so the thing pain you reach?

Marcus01:
Head . You better work hard so you'll be able to go to your village to marry a submissive woman ..

I'm sure you were taught how to have manners at home, but you refused to learn.

AntiWailer:
They lie point blank.

Once you pick them up they shout freedom of speech.

I dey tell you. It's annoying.

Marcus01:
lol mumu. No be only subordinate. Like you can stand beside Michelle Obama and look her in the eyes. See this poor church rat claiming head.

You son of a poor church rat obviously don't have sense, so your talk is irrelevant in this matter.

Nigerian media are unarguably one of the most useless in the world. Believe them at your own peril.

Marcus01:
really? Shouldn't you be happy that women are getting empowered?. And gender equality is not the cause of divorce. We are all equal in God's eyes.




Op , you didn't mention infidelity

No, we are not equal in God's eyes; men are the head, which means women are subordinates to men, divinely.

Black sisters are not EPPing

sgtponzihater1:
Yes bro. This is a big topic. I have seen young boys with no degree and very poor use of English catch Oyibo date and solve their economic puzzle. Dem no get 2 head. This year will not pass me by.

Well, if it's to catch young and pretty white babes, I'm all in. But if it's about those old wrinkled about-to-die oyinbo women, you are on your own o.

True. Most couples do lavish weddings to impress people who won't even be there when the wedding debt piles up.

Didn't know we could have a 2018 phone in 2017.

And you're calling La-la to take this to where? Front page?

It's risky doing business with someone who just created an account some days ago.

babyfaceafrica:
and is it a crime to be single?

Man was not created to be alone.

I'd say 0 times.

But then...

...in as much as I think cheating is horrible, I feel we'll have to deal with it whether we like it or not. Almost every girl I've dated cheated which led to breakups. Now it's like we have to accept it, else one may stay single forever.
