3Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”
4And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, 5and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’?
6“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
7They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?” 8He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.
9“And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:3-9 NASB
In other words, men should avoid marriage like the plague it is, because there is absolutely nothing in it for them but lifelong suffering. They ate screwed no matter what choice they make. Better off to live the single life, because women are not worth the effort.
That is the argumentnthe lifelong, no benefit, marriage freeper advocates are making.
I completely agree. If there is nothing worth it in marriage for men, dont bother. The women can choose to be alone or concubines. It is all the same.
