“A women wants the self-same sovereignty Over her husband as over her lover, And master him, he must not be above her” Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath, page 286 by Geoffrey Chaucer.

True then. Still true today.

Noted..,

A very powerful statement there from Chaucer. I never heard it until now, but it resonates with me.

Have to disagree here with Chaucer- my husband is far superior to me in all aspects; I have absolutely no desire to control or master him only to share my life with him.
