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
