Thank you.

What is a wife in Scripture?


Jubilees 03:06 And he awakened Adam from his sleep, and when he
awoke, he stood up on the sixth day. And he brought
her to him and he knew her and said to her, "This is
now the bone of my bone and the flesh from my flesh.
This one will be called my wife because she was taken
from her husband." This is the Book of Jubilees. Jesus read it. The interpretation is
that Adam took the already married Eve from her husband (Adam took
her). Cain slew Abel and took Abel's spouse and her children).

Cain slew Abel, Moses and David killed their brother. The prize was the wife.
She had dollar bills. BTW, Jubilees is older than Geneses.

Tee hee hee.

That is a good one!

or something

Even those that speak English have problems with literalisms.

Literalisms. Plural noun, no apostrophe.

Sorry, pet peeve of a grammar nazi.....

And I am not bothered by corrections.

Hey if I kept up with house chores as well as I do with apostrophes, I'd have a kitchen sink I could actually see.

I thought I was alone in the world...but I am fare worse, I don't even keep up with my apostrophes.

Apostrophes....at least I've got that!!!!

Grammar edit: them. "At least I've got them".

Unless you're talking about the attribute of good apostrophe usage. Then it would properly be, "that".

It is important to clarify these things.

But thanks for the grammar lesson...you must be an English teacher.

I DO own them. I collect royalties every time an apostrophe is used.

Guess I should come clean on that....




And FWIW, I'm a Sign Language Interpreter. Which is pretty language based!!

But I have to ask, do they use apostrophes?
Just kidding of course, even I am not that dense in language.

Best laugh I had in a while.

We should talk more about the origins of the tradition, the reality of the division of household labor, etc.

Women do their daughters no favors by whitewashing this shit.

i will agree. llol

to tell us that this is women's fault, because moms raise sons to be lazy.

I can't get enough of that whole 'there's a woman to blame, somewhere, dammit!' schtick. It never gets old!

"There's a woman to blame somewhere, dammit!!"

It's usually Obama's fault.

Women and Obama to a fault so to speak~

All my SO talked about while we were dating was getting married. She wanted all the traditional stuff, even took my last name.

Yet somehow I still got stuck with doing all the cooking and housework.

It is very, very far from the norm.

For 35 years I worked as an engineer and payed all the household bills. She worked part-time and we split the chores.

Now I'm disabled and she's the larger wage-earner, so she's funding most of the household. I have the time to do the housework, so I do what I can with a bad back.

As far as the cooking, I enjoy doing it, she doesn't so that settles out well.

All in all we have what I consider to be an equitable arrangement. We've been married for 28 years, together for 33. Financially we're in OK shape, as I earned six figures in my prime and saved a good deal.

The division of unpaid (household) labor, specifically as it is split in two-income households, is the subject of studies, discussions, etc.

My sister and her husband both worked for Apple for the last 23 years or so. He left for another job, then got laid- off. He was laid-off for two years, and in that entire time he never once so much as boiled a cup of water for himself. My sister commuted 90 minutes each way, and at the end of a 14 hour day was expected to prepare something 'interesting' for dinner. His own word.

And keep the house clean, pay the bills, and (I can only assume) put out as required.

Unbelievable. My sister is a smart lady, but is more afraid of being alone than kicking this guy's useless ass.

I suspect this type of crap is fairly common. You don't have to be a feminist to see how terribly wrong this situation is.

As will I if I ever decide to get married.

Gender roles are bullshit.

I cook by mutual agreement, as she's just not into it.

The cleaning, well, no one wants to do that, but it needs to be done, so I just do it as I now have more time than she does.

I think you're kinda missing the obvious point there via the mechanism of a hypothetical scenario rather irrelevant to the topic being discussed.

Merely half a brain indicates the relevant and obvious point of the poster is that traditional "gender roles are bullshit"-- not as to whether the poster will or will not deny their partner something they enjoy doing. No more than that, no less than that.


However, I readily admit to not knowing whether a quarter-brain can see that or not.

love it!~

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
