Nikki,
There are a number of approaches taken by conservatives on this issue.
* Some argue that Adam was a representative human God selected as federal head of the race. This would allow for other humans to be alive and able to be selected for spouses for Cain.
* I accept the "straight forward" appraoch to the text. Adam and Eve had many children; Cain married one of his sisters.
