How does the bible define marriage.

[Sammy-San]

You're confusing a thing with the abuse of that thing. Apples & oranges.

I don't think these views are unbibical.

Church Fathers & Doctors

in the views of other leading figures it was unseemly (Methodius) and filthy and degrading (Arnobius).

A True Church - Sex During Menstruation

In addition, God's view of menstruation, even though He is the one who made it (Romans 11:36), is not one of pleasantries. He uses the woman's monthly cycle as an illustration of severe disgust and hatred. Ezekiel 36:17 illustrates this:

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity. (note also verse 18)

Israel's sin was seriously wicked (e.g. 2 Kings 17:7-18), and the Lord hated their ways so much, He likened it to menses.1

How can that be Biblical when the Bible never once states or even hints there is anything wrong whatsoever with a husband and wife having sex?

A True Church - Sex During Menstruation

At best, all you could suggest is that sex is wrong during menstruation, but that is completely irrelevant to sex in and of itself between a husband and wife. That's like trying to claim if it's wrong to hit someone with your car, then it must be wrong to drive a car at all. It simply doesn't follow.
