Came across this in deutronomy 24:5 and i was like whaat?!

Personally i think it will be really cool but then, does this apply in today's world?

One year I hear somebody asking, "Na happiness dem go chop"

...same principle with today's honeymoon.

Life expectancy in those days was huge. So, it is very rational to take out 1 year out of 600+ Years as alone time with your spouse. Methuselah lived 969 years, right? (Genesis 5:27).

Worthy of note is that God progressively shortened human life, specifically after the flood. So looking at the old testament verse you quoted - Deut 24: 5, we cannot safely apply same principle as, I earlier mentioned, life expectancy differ.

You mean the Bible?

Yep. It is filled with fairy tales. Talking snakes, talking donkeys, unicorns, heaven, hell, god, lucifer etc

Those things are used to entertain kids

That verse and some other verses on that Chapter was for soldiers.
