Biblical Marriage

"Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official priests were male, most authors of Scripture were male, Jesus was male and chose twelve male Apostles. God is addressed as Father. Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands.

Polygyny isn’t for everyone. The first handbook I wrote was for people who were interested in practicing polygyny. It was called, ‘Polygyny Maybe?’ Some of my readers who bought my previous book, told me that I discouraged them from practicing polygyny and that they decided it was not for them. However, since I seemed to be suggesting that polygyny is the most natural mating system for human beings, was it at all possible to be truly monogamous? How would one best uphold the Christian marriage vows of “Until death do us part?” This book is an attempt to answer that question. I ...

Scripture tells us that a wife is meant to be a "helpmeet" to her husband, but what exactly does that outdated term mean? Simply put, it means your role is to serve. It may not be popular in this day and age, but the Biblical reality is that a wife is not meant to be her husband's equal, but to be submissive to him. This pamphlet shines light on the Biblical reality of a most-definitely-non-feminist God, and His most-definitely-not-feminist plan for marriage.
