Was Jesus Really Married? Christian Experts Sound In

A Christian writer explores the plausibility that Jesus was married to a "mortal."

When I first heard that a professor at Harvard Divinity School found a piece of ancient papyrus indicating that Jesus had a wife, my initial reaction was one of skepticism and eye rolling. But, in the spirit of speculative fun, I thought I might do a little research. What if Jesus had been married? Would people have thought he loved his wife more than anyone else?

Study: Marriage Makes Women Drink More & Men Drink Less. Why?

Sounds like all the single ladies are laying off the booze.

We all know what a crucial role alcohol plays in getting people together. It lends men courage, and it lends women the kind of forbearance that makes that courage endearing rather than annoying.
