I'd like to hear thoughts on the video above. If you would, consider
these questions after you listen (these are what I'd like to hear discussed):
1) If the initial 'act of marriage' was entered into before a person is legally married, is it considered a marital bond in God's eyes? (OT law demanded a raped women be married by her perpetrator, never to be divorced from him).
2) If a non-virgin legally marries, is the marital contract considered a 'covenant' in God's eyes? If a woman is not virgin when she marries, and there is no 'proof' of a blood-covenant, is it considered adultery (since the token of a blood covenant could only be proven once).
In light of the information presented in this video, I"m thinking alot of people will be suffering regrets... but the beauty of the 'sacredness of sex' is profound. Something to strive for.
