Read Matthew 1:18-20 and Deuteronomy 22:22-29. See anything strange? And anything missing? The diligent student, meditating on these passages, will understand what Biblical betrothal is. I would explain it to you - and likely yet will - but it's a question being asked of me very often these days, now that I am a betrothed man, and I do not have the time to spoon-feed you the answer right now. So if you really care to know, I've given you all the help you need. Read those two passages at least seven times each, and ask the obvious questions, and let the obvious (albeit counter-cultural) answers reshape your thinking.
In Christ,
