Isn't it time we quit attempting to redefine marriage?
We need to get back to the traditional Biblical values advocated throughout the OT.
Genesis 2:24 (One Man+One Woman)
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 38:6-10 (One Man+Dead Brothers Widow)
Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er, Judahs firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord killed him. And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brothers wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother. But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brothers wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; therefore He killed him also.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (One Man+His Rape Victim)
If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are found out, then the man who lay with her shall give to the young womans father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he has humbled her; he shall not be permitted to divorce her all his days.
Deuteronomy 21:11-14 (One Man+Prisoner of War)
and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and desire her and would take her for your wife, then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails. She shall put off the clothes of her captivity, remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month; after that you may
go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall set her free, but you certainly shall not sell her for mon
ey; you shall not treat her brutally, because you have humbled her.
One Man+One or more Wives+Concubines (Official Mistresses)
Abraham, Gideon, Nahor, Jacob, Eliphaz, Caleb, Manasseh, Solomon and Belshazzar.
One Man+More than One Wife (Polygamy)
Lamech, Esau, Jacob, Axhur, Gideon, Elkanah, David, Solomon, Rehaboam, Abijah, Jehoram, Joash, Ahab, Jeholachin and Belshazzar.
Exodus 21:4 (Arranged Marriage for Slaves)
If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her masters, and he shall go out by himself.
Exodus 22:16 (One Man+Paid-For Wife)
If a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride-price for her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins.
Genesis 20:12 (One Man+His Half-Sister)
But indeed she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Exodus 21:7-8 (One Man+His Slave/Wife)
And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Yes, it is time to revamp DOMA, defend marriage and the traditional value it is built on.
Misogyny.
