The Truth about Adultery and the Bible

   According to Webster Dictionary, adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than that person's current spouse or partner. Christians try to make this word mean sex outside of marriage. However, when this Commandment was supposedly created Marriage was a contract between two families. A daughter was betrothed to the son of another family to strengthen their bonds, combine resources or to save them from poverty while the girl was still a baby. Love was almost never used to combine two households. Marriage as we know it today became a signed contract between two people starting in the 17th century. Most of the world still considers such unions to only be recognized between a biological male and a biological female. 

   Thankfully today, more effort has been put in to making marriage a freedom for all people to partake in. Whether that be between two people of the same biological sex, trans, non-binary, etc. In my opinion marriage should be for love alone and only for those that wish to go through the process. Not for power or title or money or to make any single religion happy. Why should any person feel pressured and persecuted for not choosing to sign a government document? Love is simple. Government and religion has made it complicated to get more money out of us. From the whole wedding ceremony to the showers to the floral arrangements to the catering. All of that is more for the family and friends then to really show each other how much they love one another. 

   All two people need is to love one another and support each other through anything. If that means calling them your Partner instead of Husband or Wife or Spouse then so be it. If it means living your lives together without succumbing to the judgmental glares of this world then do it. You need to make sure you and the one you love is happy above all. Then you can choose whether or not to give a minute to the thoughtless hypocrites of this world. 

P.S.

Fornication is generally consensual sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other.
