Actually, you might be onto something there.

I think David may have had some envy issues when it came to the Philistines.
Given what he cut off and brought back to King Saul.
I mean, Philistines were big. Goliath was well, Goliath size right?

Then when King Saul realised they'd been cut down (to size) by David,
obviously saw technique was more important and then gave David his daughter.

If anyone wants the details, it's all recorded towards the end 1 Samuel 18.
And some people say the Bible is a boring bunch a rules and commandments.
Geesh. They've clearly not read the Bible!

I think it does affect the relationship, there may be a few exceptions, however I don't think there is anything christian or unchristian about it.

Ironically, my great grand mother married my great grandfather when she was 12 and he was 50. And they were a happy couple, having 6 children, and stayed that way for the 20 years they shared in life until the death of my G. Great father. That is what I call an exception.

Marriages at that time in India were done pretty quickly. The famous Gandhi married his wife when they were both 13. There was very little choice and arranged marriages were the norm. Nobody considered it bad or anything. My Mom's mom was also married when she was 14. The males were usually 5-10 years older then the girls. My great grand father was somewhat of an odd one in the bunch to marry this late at the age of 50, but that was because his first wife had died. He was a minister and had 50 villages under him to cover, so he needed a wife to be with when he got home, which was like after a month or two from his tour. He had four kids from the first wife and they needed taken care of too so he married.

I know it sounds very strange in these times and age but that was how it was in those days.
