No thanks. No thanks then...no thanks now.
try to separate yourself from your social isolation for a minute to try and see there are social constructs and concepts that are foreign to your own... honor was a very big thing back then... not so much in the modern US. plus all marriages were arranged back then anyways. picking a husband/wife was a foreign concept.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
