Oh! haha ok yes. Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah if you meet a girl who was hand-crafted by God Himself then she must be quite a keeper. Plus there's literally no other women on earth nor ever will be, except your descendants. So I think they had God's permission to bang without getting to know each other first.

Whether or not they had a ceremony with a white dress and signed a bit of paper, well. Not sure about that. More likely they just had sex and then kept on having more sex, and because they had sex so much, they were in a relationship. So if we're going to use them as an example, it would be more accurate to say that Adam and Eve hooked up on their first date...

From God's point of view, sex is marriage. Adam and Eve were married as soon as they "knew" each other.

If that's God's view then I haven't been keeping very good track of my husband. I'm not even sure what country he lives in now.

Part humorous, part humbling perspective- very nice. I appreciate perspectives like that. They help us see the truth about ourselves in a way we can handle it. That being said, I'm grateful to be washed in His blood!
