Gray!!!!! 😱😱😱 that’s basic scripture!

1 Corinthians
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
So each man is an island, so there is no need for bosses, spiritual leaders, and political leaders for men?  OK I got it.  :cowboy:

I am getting the feeling that there is a big disconnect from what my words say and what the men think I say.  I obey who I need to obey, you no longer have to act like my fathers ( I think I have like 3 here) ::)

Can someone post for me my exact quote that said women don't have to obey men, I believe I have never said that.  I will show respect to men, but again not in the anonymous forum where your gender is not even stated.  Context matters.

This thread is on age gaps.  I think we have determined that age gaps were acceptable by the Church, that women as young as 13 were ready for marriage (in a time gone by) that legally now that age is 18 in many countries. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriageable_age

7 years is the ideal age gap.

The Victorian's had a sliding scale of half your age plus 7 years.

The only way to change any of the current thinking is for parents to teach their daughters better.

Did I miss anything?

:jester:  Says the woman who constantly complains that people don't treat women compassionately enough, on internet forums.

You've got it backwards, as normal.  The Church sets the minimum ages for marriage.  All else is up to the parties involved.

The whole idea that men/women should be similar in age is modernist.  And it's not historical, nor economical.
