Perspectives on Marriage

1. Hosea was obsessed on Gomer because of her beauty and obsession cannot be equated to love if it is an attachment to the physical beauty of a person. Hosea’s commitment to Gomer is the kind of love that did not involve sexual intimacy since it was more on how to redeem her and prevent her from becoming a prostitute. The religious significance of Hosea’s commitment to Gomer is based on his sexual desires, but to honor her as a woman and earn her own self-respect.

In regards to relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity. Opinions could be based on personal culture/folklore, family history, or media portrayal. Unless one can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, an individual’s specific morality cannot be objective and most likely won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations. This bias obviously limits objectivity, since opinions are decided by a person’s background and social peers instead of morality. ...
