Dear Ann,

HH: What point are you trying to make? Do you think Paul would not go
along with God's idea of marriage? Or are you saying we shouldn't use
the word "wife"? That's the word we use in our culture, even if GUNH
could cover both "woman" and "wife." Are you suggesting Paul just
means a man should have a woman and not a wife?
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
