Marriage is about control?
I don't remember that part of the Christian marriage ceremony. You know, the one I took part in.
The only man I obeyed was my father.
minor non-sequiter:
The Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony is long and drawn own. One of the non-religious based old wives tales for the ceremony is if the woman steps on the man's foot during the ceremony she will rule in the house, if the man can avoid this he will rule. Just a goofy superstition but it is a funny point during the wedding.
