    Bear in mind that "her own" is her husband's own, and his is hers. Married couples are not separate individuals; they ARE an individual.

    GENESIS 2

    18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an HELP meet for him.

    20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an HELP MEET for him.

    21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

    22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

    23 And Adam said, This is now BONE OF MY BONE and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

    24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: AND THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH.

    25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

    As long as we reverence the exclusivity of the marriage there will be less problems. Often relatives, siblings, parents, friends; try to speak their ideas into your marriage. So in verse 24 we see that it is dangerous to allow others to judge your marriage. They didn't have cell phones back then. :/

    By being loyal to each other, and not permitting others to offer comment on you or your spouse, you will save on trips to counselors or attorneys.

    Television prime time is harmful to marriage. People feel threatened by a persons healthy marriage and family relationships with kids.

    Unsolicited advise gets met with: "I always check in the Bible for my advise." Really, Deuteronomy and Leviticus have useful principals. What builds up; what tears down// 1 Corinthians 7

    We live in a society that feels threatened by anything remotely "religious". I made all the mistakes, so I really want you to succeed.

    Proverbs 3:5-7
