Well, it has its practical, logical advantages, I have to say. If you and your spouse observe a Biblical marriage, you have no concerns about STDs, paternity, alienation of affection, insecurity, hurt feelings . . .
And your "guarantee" of having "no concerns" about those negatives is....what, exactly? Especially the intangibles like alienation of affection, insecurity and hurt feelings? I see NO benefits to a biblical marriage, but thankfully it is up to EACH person to decide.
Life doesn't come with guarantees, sweetie. This isn't like buying a major appliance, where you get a warranty and a replacement if it breaks down. The best you can do is improve the odds, and the fact that you don't know that Biblical marriage does that just tells me that you don't know anyone who's doing it right. That's not conclusive evidence of anything but your need to choose better acquaintances.
YOU were the one who said "If you and your spouse observe a Biblical marriage, you have no concerns" about STDs, paternity, etc. which is more belief than fact. Since I find conservative/evangelical christianity to be both repressive and oppressive where sex is concerned, I wouldn't want any part of your idea of "biblical marriage" in a romantic relationship or marriage.
As for my "need to choose better acquaintances," you just illustrated why I don't hang out with christian fundamentalists. From what I have seen, their minds are too closed for me. Have a nice evening.
