   Do y'all know what book he wants to me to read? The book of Ruth. Yes, the woman who forsake her own family to stay with her MIL. If that isn't sending a message, I don't know what it. This story is brought to you by My Crazy Life.

   Nah, Ruth had kids w/ Boaz (husband #2) I actually recently re-read ruth and didn't hate it--for t'he times' it s a somewhat empowering story. But only if you see it as her choosing a lifestyle/culture/religion/husband not as a 'following your MIL across the globe' story. What exactly does he think you'll get out of that?…

   More or less.I mean, Ruth came home and said "oh, this dude was nice to me and made sure to give us food" and MIL walked her through the "hey, this is how you hook this dude" rituals (including, 'sneak to where he sleeps and climb into bed with him and have him sneak you out in the morning'). (the implications are that…

   No, she wasn't barren. She and Boaz had a son, Obed, who was the grandfather to King David.
