I have been thinking about marriage † 02/28/21 (Sun) 21:11:08 cb0ec8 No.853874

I have been thinking about marital relations.

I noticed that in most animal species males behave the same: The find a female in heat, impregnate her and leave her so she would take care of their children alone.

Human males also instinctively want to follow this "hit-it and quit-it" behavior.

My question is this: is the main reason of marriage is to ensure that a man will stay with a woman and help her to raise children since human kids are much harder to raise compared to other infant animals?

Polygamy is fit for barbarism, monogamy for civilisation. If every man has stakes in the future of society, every man works for it to improve and be stable, planting fruit trees not for them but for their descendants.

If the chieftain gets all the women, men wouldnt care and just form marauder groups and go around pillaging and raping.

Jesus makes marriage laws more strict for a reason.

Well God originally intended for human males and females of one man and woman.

True. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam, Eve, Jessica and Karen.

Okay, don't bring up Lilith!

I heard of lilith but the bible made no specific mention about her I am assuming that's not canon?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith

In Genesis 1:27, God created human kind.

And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.

Okay, so the story goes that at least one woman was created at the same time that at least one man was created.

Then in Genesis 2:22 we see Eve is created from Adam's rib, thus Adam was created before Eve

22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

This is a jewish belief from the middle ages, not a Christian belief. Lilith is a night demon, a succumbus I guess.
