Hello Enocish,
What you are not taking into consideration is that, after Cain and Abel were born, Adam and Eve continued to have other children who are just not mentioned in scripture. And those children continued to have children and their children continued to have children and so on and so on. In addition, scripture does not tell us how old Cain was when he got married. If say, he was a hundred years old when he found his wife, then all the rest of Adam and Eve's offspring and their offspring over a hundred year period would produce thousands and thousands of people from which Cain could obtain a wife from.
That said, this does not have to be a mystery. It only requires logical deduction.

Hi Jewel,
If you were referring to my post, it is not a "nice spin" but practical Biblical truth. For example: Noah had three son's, but when the lineage is listed Genesis only Shem is mentioned, yet we know that Noah also had Shem and Ham.
The problem with this issue of "where did Cain find his wife" is based on a lack of basic reasoning. People read the scripture which says that Eve gave birth to Cain and then to Abel, but what it does not mention is all the other children that they gave birth to. They are just not mentioned in scripture. And as I said, we don't know when Cain got married. Therefore, if got married at a hundred years old, then the other offspring from Adam and Eve and their children's children, would have produced thousands and thousand within just a hundred year period.

Bride of Christ is the church..we as christians make up the church 
Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
In 2 Corinthian as a surrogate mother prepared Timothy as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
She is used in a parable found in Revelation 12 travail in birth pain Christ having completed His work
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered .Revelation 12:1-2
As far as the highlighted section, I would say that is self evident.
As far as the rest of your post, with no disrespect intended, trifle is the word that comes to mind.
Neither.
Isn't that somewhat condescending?
As far as my thoughts, in consideration of 1 Cor 2:16, I would consider it as complete conjecture without any basis in fact or principle. For example, your represent Cain chose his 2 wives, can you provide any scriptural support of that interpretation?

There is an argument to be made that we don't know how long passed between Adam and Eve's creation, and their fall. If they went forth and multiplied before they fell, then Cain and Seth would have not been their very first children, but the first of their post-fall children. And they would have had access to their pre-fall sisters.
