top 15 biblical ways to get a wife

I keep hearing that modern men, especially the guys here at Southern are not pursuing women aggressively enough. They’re just too nice. Even in Kentucky, a girl just can’t find a former high school quarter back that works as a shoe salesman, gets drunk a lot, lays down the law, and likes to shove her around anymore. All the guys at Southern are too educated and just want to learn about God and not take advantage of a girl and treat her like a sister in Christ all the time. What’s up with that? A girl needs a little danger, a bit of a bad boy, this whole "minister of the gospel" thing is not going to cut it. Love hurts ok? You’ll find quite a few Christian dating authors pointing to bible stories to support this notion. Don’t you just wish we could all go back to the good ol’ days when men were real men and women were real property?
