Sounds as though she equated marriage with slavery. And, she wouldn't be the first. A surprisingly common theme, it appears centuries later, and a world and culture apart, in Sam Cooke's oldies song, 'Bring it on home to me.' A snippet of lyrics follows: You know I'll always be your slave Until I'm buried, buried in my grave Oh honey, Bring it to me Bring your sweet lovin' Bring it on home to me.

A very nice inspiring share, thank you! I think is funny how our world won't change, what if a sparkle, mirror of the marriage chain will help us learn and love the taste of freedom, one question may I dare?
