An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan officer, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off his scraggly beard His favorite restaurant is casual where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts. She wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won’t be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp.

Well, wives are supposed to be ‘submissive’ to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that ‘pertains to a man’ (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more tmore than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they’re committing adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22).
