>Any good religious person believes prayer should be balanced by action.  So

>
>A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man
>and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.)
>
>B.  Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition
>to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)
>
>C.  A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If
>the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)
>
>D.  Marriage between a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden. (Gen
>24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)
>
>E.  Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the
>constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be construed
>to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)
>
>F.  If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the
>widow.  If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not
>give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise 
>punished
>in a manner to be determined by law.  (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut25:5-10 )
