I think Adam's topic of marriage could unleash the proverbial "can of worms". There are so many ideas and topics that I thought about while reading his commentary. His idea on Polygamy brought the story of King Solomon to mind. Was he blessed or cursed with regard to having many wives? Also, the many lessons and difficulties that God wants us to overcome with regard to marriage and our relationships. The fact that God designed us so differently in terms of fulfillment seems interesting as well. But probably what I thought about most was while reading the commentary, interestingly enough, was the heated debate that exists(ed) on the book of Song of Songs. It is hard for me to believe that it wasn't until the 19th century that this book was first looked at as possibly not allegorical. It just reminded me that marriage, and particularly sex, is part of God's plan and not just for procreation.
