If you present your dog to a veterinarian with the instruction to put him to sleep, you would normally mean something very different than you would upon taking your wife or husband to an anesthesiologist with the same words.
Wife
I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
When one has love for God, one doesn’t feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
It is not monogamy when there is one legal wife, and mistresses out of sight.
I have money, fame, a happy wife, our daughter Nell.
An oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every household… carries discord and rebellion into every home of the nation.
I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, for qualities that would wear well.
My wife used to tell me one of my best qualities was that my feet don’t smell, but I remember my brother’s did when we were kids.
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife’s spirits.
