The Old Testament is no longer the law of the land.... Hello

I wonder why you want to justify an unconsenting relationship with a woman? Is that really something you need to worry about? If this is where you turn, then I hope marriage works out for the two of you. Personally, I would turn to the New Testament to learn more about love and less about domination.
And we're all slaves, of sorts. We work/live for something or someone. Granted, that's voluntary (for as long as you volunteer to keep yourself fed), but it's still work in exchange for money. Just imagine how you'd appreciate a year off after six years of work! God isn't saying to beat the slave, but to set him free. Again, I look to the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus Christ, in his grace to extend salvation to everyone.
And there is far better scripture in the bible. Please: continue reading.

Ummmmm...... LOL
I'm sure there is better in the verses somewhere, but these are interesting to be sure.
Most of the 'Good Book' was in reality codices for good behavior and laws for living together in peace. Just like the prohibition against eating pork.... too many people didn't cook it right and died of trichinosis.

My personal favorite is Leviticus 25:44. It basically states that you can have anyone for a slave except family member and other Israelites - because, clearly, even though we're supposed to be all God's children, he only loves the Israelites.

You didn't word it exactly as it is written. Also it tells me you are obviously reading out of the corrupt NIV or NKJV. The only real Bible to read out of is the Holy Bible (KJV) 1611
That is The Old Testament. The laws are now of The New Testament. Post the whole chapter out of the Bible I told you about and then lets see some answers.

Sounds to me if you've got some cash you will have an abundance of slaves :-)
