You are reading Matthew out of context. What was the question Jesus responded to. It was: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? The question was not about multiple wives but divorce. Men were putting away their wives and NOT providing for them. Go back to the old covenant. God said if a man take a second wife, he must diminish her food, clothing or sex. Scripture also states. If a man has two wives, one he loves and one he hates, the mother of his first born son, EVEN if he hates her, he gets his father’s inheritance. Those men who took a second wanted to discard the first and not provide for them. This is what is meant by for “The hardness of men’s heart” a certificate of divorce was given. Polygyny was never condemned and God never punished any man. If you want a second wife? Fine! Just don’t divorce the first and treat them equally.
God did not instruct to have multiple wives. His people that already had multiple wives he gave instruction on how to conduct. Biblical experiences (Abraham/Jacob/David) does not equal commandment or law given. Marriage declared by The Most High is man and woman. How will a man own or have authority over his wife's body and a woman have authority over her husband's body (1 Cor 7:4) if he is polygynist ?
This is what we need to know: Does God ever forbid or condemn the practice of multiple wives? No! Did God say it was a sin? No! We go to hell for sinning against God
Awaken, Yes! The Word says a woman can only have one husband. The modern Christian misdefines adultery. If you study scripture, you will learn biblical adultery is based solely on the marital status of the woman. No man can sleep with another man’s wife. Once she is married, no other man is allowed. The blood covenant is sealed with her own blood from her virgin hymen. Only one man can establish a blood covenant with her. Did you know a wife is not allowed by God to be jealous but the husband can be. If he suspects his wife of being unfaithful, he can take her to the priest for testing. You can find the test of jealousy in Numbers 5:29 ”This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.“ Numbers 5:29-30 KJV
There's no God's law against polygamy and in the absence of that law then there is no sin (1 John 3:4). In God's Kingdom people live according to his commandments or laws and not according to intent (1 John 5:2-3). At Gen 1:28 God said to Adam and Eve "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it". At 1 Cor 7:2 Paul says "To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband" KJV
‘Show Me Polygamy In The Bible’: Here It Is! 1.“If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.”-Exodus 21:10. 2.“If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love.”-Deuteronomy 21:15-16. 3.“When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.”-Genesis 26:34. 4.“Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.” Genesis 29:30 5.“Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, attended by her five female servants, went with David’s messengers and became his wife. David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both were his wives. But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was from Gallim.”-1 Samuel 25:42-44. 6.“Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.”-1 Chronicles 4:5. Another instance of polygamy is Gideon. Scripture says Gideon was called by God in Judges 6:11, which says “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” Now, this man whom the ‘Lord was with’, was a polygamist. We see this in Judges 8:20, which says “Gideon had seventy sons of his own, since he had MANY WIVES.” Take the case of Abijah. Scripture describes him in 2 Chronicles 13:10 as a man who did not forsake God, and in 2 Chronicles 13:11, he is described as a man who carried out “the requirements of the LORD our God.” Yet, he had many wives. We see this in 2 Chronicles 13:21: “Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives.” In the case of King Joash, he was a minor when he became king. So he was out under the regency of priests (incidentally, the man who challenged me is himself a priest). Now, it was the leading priest of God, a man called Jehoiada, who himself selected two wives for the young King Joash. And Scripture described Joash as doing “what was right in the eyes of the Lord”. We see this in 2 Chronicles 24:1-3: “Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba. Joash did what was right in the eyes of the Lord all the years of Jehoiada the priest. Jehoiada chose two wives for him, and he had sons and daughters.” What about David, who was given his own wives, not by a priest; but by God Himself? We see that in 2 Samuel 12:8: “I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.” The fact of the matter is that some people are taking dogmas of their church denomination and passing it off as scriptural doctrines. Scripture was not written in English. It was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. For instance, many people take Christ’s words in Matthew 19:5 as being against polygamy. That verse says in English: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? However, the actual Koine Greek word used there is gynaiki. That word does not actually mean wife. It actually means woman. That word itself is a Koine Greek translation of the Hebrew word bə·’iš·tōw. Scripture does forbid polygamy. But ONLY for Bishops and elders, as we see in 1 Timothy 3:2: “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife".
God's doctrine. Other than Deuteronomy 17:17 which is only talking about kings. 2 Sam 12:8 clearly tells us that God gave David his wives. 1 Kings 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. That was adultery and murder. NOT POLYGAMY!!! 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we know what sin is. Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Now there we see that God does not tolerate sin in anyway, shape or form. Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. If polygamy is a sin and God gave David his wives, then God is a sinner. Since Matthew tells us God is perfect and cannot abide sin, then polygamy isn't a sin. You can't have it both ways.
Sis i appreciate your opinion and agree on your Christian views on marriage as it should be according to your scriptures. But you missed the mark on poly men completely. YES woman should value themselves. YES Christian women should have a blessed marriage with one man as per Christianity. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with a real twin flame/soul mate. But you just lumped all poly men as DOGS. As we cant be loyal and all we do is run around which is far from the truth. Monogamy/poly both have their pros and cons. But to praise one more over the other and to say "you are better" is small minded when poly men can be loyal, supportive and loving. What we dont want is toxic men low key making woman submissive and create a harems. Poly relationships for woman should ALWAYS be consenting and man should never pressure a woman into that lifestyle. You never mentioned once about the freedom poly WOMAN have in dating. You speak as if only poly men have a say. Ill leave off asking this. Would you be open to a Christian polyamorous relationship with multiple Christian men? Ones who would worship you. Be celibate, pray with you and honor your relationship in a biblical way? Because Christians do it and its beautiful. Peace and love ✌️
Mathew 25--- Jesus clearly isn't a hater of Polygny! Jezabel started coming out in you at 7:00 Repent and submit to righteousness--- then maybe God will begin blessing sisters with righteous men. Exodus 21:10 & 2 Samuel 12:8
The most important relationship.... What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand. God created us according to His own image and likeness. Godly. Mankind/the first Adam fell. The image of God in man got lost. That's why there is all this predicament on earth (selfishness, greed, lust, wars, sicknesses, death, etc). We are all born into that mess. For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ. With His own once and for all perefect sacrifice, He paid the debt for the fall of man for us, so we can be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. An amazing act of grace and love by our creator. That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all and walked in unselfish love. And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin. Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come. So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand. Hence the divine healing miracles we experience. God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after in Gen 1. The image we lost in the fall of man. The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us. What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing. It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle. He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love. Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh. For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth. He said: "Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc. I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name". Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!! So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit. You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator. You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace. A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam. Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever. Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote: "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again". "IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)" "The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power". So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing! In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote: "By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!! Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness. He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind". "I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."
This argument is flawed. First, if Polygamy is a sin; then why did God make special laws/accommodations for polygamy in Leviticus? Why would God allow his people to engage in a practice that would be considered to be sinful in his eyes, knowing that he punishes people for “sin” and the punishment for sin is so severe that he had to send himself in the form of man to pay the price so we don’t have to and yet still allowed polygamy to happen all throughout biblical times. The truth is that polygamy isn’t a sin, it may not be the original design of how God wanted mankind to marry/mate; but he clearly allowed it, was okay with it, and made special rules for it in the law of Moses.
A marriage = one man and one woman becoming one flesh. I totally agree with that statement. However, within HIS HOUSEHOLD, a man can have multiple MARRIAGES. The women in a multiple marriage household are not married to each other, so it is still an individual relationship between a man and each wife. Also, his wives are not "on the side". They are legitimate marriages. If he needs to get divorced for a legitimate reason, he doesn't divorce all his wives at once, he would have to divorce each individually, which proves they are separate marriages.
Why was Hagar told to go back ? If u go behind the word own in the Greek there r 2 different words with 2 meanings how did Jesus have Bros and sis ? If there r 7 gals to guys on Earth do u believe some gals were ment to be alone David had many god told him he would have given him more the new T says 7 gals will cling to 1 man ! Nothing wrong with 1 and 1 but don't look down on a man who has more than one if more than one is sin where is the law for this so called sin ? Feel free to have your pastor answer me back!
So am I catching the drift? As a wife you are supposed to cater to the husband's every need? That's called a Maid, you're not a wife you're a Maid. You are property of your husband, how sick, twisted or kinky do you have to be to be ok with this? I'm not gonna treat my girlfriend like a servant, if she wants to do something nice for me, I'm not gonna take it for granted and pay her back. THAT'S how a good relationship looks like. And that still applies in a polyamorous relationship. I will love my partners equally and give them the love they deserve. Your holy book is outdated and not relevant to today's topics and only served to make women submissive. Disgusting
i beg you (or your supporters) to respond to this comment so that we may talk about this issue. You are incredibly misinformed on this issue. The question that must first be answered is "is polygyny a sin?". This requires that we first of all know what sin is. 1 John 3v4 we are told that sin is the transgression of the law. Rom 5v13 and 7v7 say the same thing. Sin is defined by the Law. John 1v17 tells us that the law came by Moses while Christ brought grace and truth. Christ did not bring the law and his disciples including his best friend deny that he did. Moses' writings must inform our opinion on matters of morality. Remember that if both paul and John are teaching that Moses ALONE functioned as lawgiver, then that means Christ believed that to. Yahushua is the one that led them to this conclusion about Moses, He taught both men after all. If we are to understand Christ's words and those of His disciples on the topic of marriage we must look to Moses first. Remember the road to Emmaus (Luke 24v27). Please consider the following points: 1)There are no laws in the books of Moses that restrict a man to one woman. In 2 Sam 12v8 Yahuwah tells David that He gave him his master's wives into his bosom. That means that God actively participated in the polygamy of his servants he did not merely tolerate it (a claim found in abundance outside the bible but zero times within it). In addition to this He contrasts the many wives that David received from Him to the wife of Uriah that he took by himself. He says that this was done in contradiction to his commandment. Clearly telling the reader that Yahuwah does not believe that polygyny is against the law he gave to the holy people at Sinai. Remember where there is no law there is no sin. 2) There are laws in the bible that regulate polygyny and teach men how to be good polygynist fathers and husbands. These are exo 21v10 and Deut 21v15. If laws define good and evil then it good to give wives and children their rights in a polygynous home. Men that follow these laws are righteous like all men that obey God's law. Consider the fact that never once are they called sinners yet they are given laws with which to pursue righteousness. 3) Moses' writings teach us what marriage is contractually. In Gen 2 Adam has a rib taken from him then a woman given in exchange. This is a purchase. This depicts Eve, and hence all wives thereafter, as human property, as slaves. This is why these holy men that sleep with multiple women every night were never charged with adultery. Adultery in the Hebrew is Zanah it speaks of covenant breaking. However, the man cannot break that covenant as masters are not accountable to their slaves. That is why Yahuwah has three laws in the ten commandments against polyandry (No adultery, coveting another's wife or stealing.) but not a single one against polygyny. There are many other things to discuss in Moses' law ie the bible that Yahushua read but what i have written will be a good starting point. Please respond you need my help on this because no prophet ever taught what you are teaching.
Knowing the goals and the purpose of your relationship is so important.
I agree 100% sis! That is soooo important!

And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin.
Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come.
So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand.
Hence the divine healing miracles we experience.
God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God.
The image we were created after in Gen 1.
The image we lost in the fall of man.
The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us.
What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing.
It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle.
He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love.
Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh.
For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth.
He said:
"Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc.
I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name".
Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!!
So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ.
Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit.
You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator.
You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace.
A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam.
Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever.
Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote:
"As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again".
"IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)"
"The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power".
So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing!
In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote:
"By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man".
The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!!
Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness.
He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind".
"I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."
Write a book if you want, but keep your worshipping and submission kink to yourself. There are children on TH-cam 🙄
This argument is flawed. First, if Polygamy is a sin; then why did God make special laws/accommodations for polygamy in Leviticus? Why would God allow his people to engage in a practice that would be considered to be sinful in his eyes, knowing that he punishes people for “sin” and the punishment for sin is so severe that he had to send himself in the form of man to pay the price so we don’t have to and yet still allowed polygamy to happen all throughout biblical times. The truth is that polygamy isn’t a sin, it may not be the original design of how God wanted mankind to marry/mate; but he clearly allowed it, was okay with it, and made special rules for it in the law of Moses.
A marriage = one man and one woman becoming one flesh. I totally agree with that statement. However, within HIS HOUSEHOLD, a man can have multiple MARRIAGES. The women in a multiple marriage household are not married to each other, so it is still an individual relationship between a man and each wife. Also, his wives are not "on the side". They are legitimate marriages. If he needs to get divorced for a legitimate reason, he doesn't divorce all his wives at once, he would have to divorce each individually, which proves they are separate marriages.
Why was Hagar told to go back ? If u go behind the word own in the Greek there r 2 different words with 2 meanings how did Jesus have Bros and sis ? If there r 7 gals to guys on Earth do u believe some gals were ment to be alone David had many god told him he would have given him more the new T says 7 gals will cling to 1 man ! Nothing wrong with 1 and 1 but don't look down on a man who has more than one if more than one is sin where is the law for this so called sin ? Feel free to have your pastor answer me back!
So am I catching the drift? As a wife you are supposed to cater to the husband's every need?
That's called a Maid, you're not a wife you're a Maid. You are property of your husband, how sick, twisted or kinky do you have to be to be ok with this?
I'm not gonna treat my girlfriend like a servant, if she wants to do something nice for me, I'm not gonna take it for granted and pay her back. THAT'S how a good relationship looks like. And that still applies in a polyamorous relationship. I will love my partners equally and give them the love they deserve. Your holy book is outdated and not relevant to today's topics and only served to make women submissive. Disgusting
i beg you (or your supporters) to respond to this comment so that we may talk about this issue. You are incredibly misinformed on this issue. The question that must first be answered is "is polygyny a sin?". This requires that we first of all know what sin is. 1 John 3v4 we are told that sin is the transgression of the law. Rom 5v13 and 7v7 say the same thing. Sin is defined by the Law. John 1v17 tells us that the law came by Moses while Christ brought grace and truth. Christ did not bring the law and his disciples including his best friend deny that he did. Moses' writings must inform our opinion on matters of morality. Remember that if both paul and John are teaching that Moses ALONE functioned as lawgiver, then that means Christ believed that to. Yahushua is the one that led them to this conclusion about Moses, He taught both men after all. If we are to understand Christ's words and those of His disciples on the topic of marriage we must look to Moses first. Remember the road to Emmaus (Luke 24v27). Please consider the following points:
1)There are no laws in the books of Moses that restrict a man to one woman. In 2 Sam 12v8 Yahuwah tells David that He gave him his master's wives into his bosom. That means that God actively participated in the polygamy of his servants he did not merely tolerate it (a claim found in abundance outside the bible but zero times within it). In addition to this He contrasts the many wives that David received from Him to the wife of Uriah that he took by himself. He says that this was done in contradiction to his commandment. Clearly telling the reader that Yahuwah does not believe that polygyny is against the law he gave to the holy people at Sinai. Remember where there is no law there is no sin.
2) There are laws in the bible that regulate polygyny and teach men how to be good polygynist fathers and husbands. These are exo 21v10 and Deut 21v15. If laws define good and evil then it good to give wives and children their rights in a polygynous home. Men that follow these laws are righteous like all men that obey God's law. Consider the fact that never once are they called sinners yet they are given laws with which to pursue righteousness.
3) Moses' writings teach us what marriage is contractually. In Gen 2 Adam has a rib taken from him then a woman given in exchange. This is a purchase. This depicts Eve, and hence all wives thereafter, as human property, as slaves. This is why these holy men that sleep with multiple women every night were never charged with adultery. Adultery in the Hebrew is Zanah it speaks of covenant breaking. However, the man cannot break that covenant as masters are not accountable to their slaves. That is why Yahuwah has three laws in the ten commandments against polyandry (No adultery, coveting another's wife or stealing.) but not a single one against polygyny. There are many other things to discuss in Moses' law ie the bible that Yahushua read but what i have written will be a good starting point. Please respond you need my help on this because no prophet ever taught what you are teaching.
So I guess bisexual people can never get married... Hmm...
