Never mind David’s missteps with Bathsheba and what he was moved to do to her husband. (And David already had six wives before her.) Deuteronomy 17:17 was an explicit command against polygamy, particularly for kings, but for everyone.

I’d love to send this to my ex wife. Yeah, her infidelity is why she’s my ex, and I was her 3rd husband...

So this is why Bill and Hillary are miserable people who despise the world and hate everybody.

No, noting so obvious. For them, it's more of a case of "some people just want to watch the world burn".

Frank Barone said it best: “What did I tell you? If you are having problems with your woman you don’t go out and get another one, NOW YOU GOT TWO PROBLEMS!”

no, it recommended kings not take “many” wives, leaving “many” mathematically undefined. 2? 3? 7? 8? 10?

equating “many” to “two or more” is reading more into the words than what is there.

1 : consisting of or amounting to a large BUT INDEFINITE number

Jesus didn't have a male bloodline; he was the offspring of God.

"Only way for guys to avoid world of hurt is to not get married. Take Paul’s advice and stay awsy from women."

spoken like a true man lover.....

but I agree..hateful men such as you should stay away from women...quit bothering them and continue your long love life with the pics on your computer...

I would say this study might have gotten it backward. It might not be that fewer sex partners itself leads to happiness its that the type of people that tend to sleep around less also tend to be happier in the monogamy of marriages. Also whenever you see a survey about sexual activity, for women in general born less than 40 years ago double or triple the number of partners they claim. For men, halve or cut it into a thirds.

Marriage used to be a fair deal, today not so much as far as men are concerned. Leaving aside everything else from a pure legal/economic perspective it is often not in a man’s best interest to marry.

mgtow’s a little too extreme for my tastes. I’m still not convinced you have to be a virgin to see the truth, at least lets pray that things aren’t that bad.

Yeah, I was thinking you SHOULD only have one sex partner while you’re married, preferably your wife.
