Husbands: When you married your wife, did she become your possession?

I never wanted to possess her, I never have possessed her, and I never will possess her. We're in a partnership of our own free wills, and if one of us ever changes our minds, the partnership can be dissolved. One human being can never "own" another human being, at least not in modern times in civilized countries.

This question was asked in such a way that you could of ONLY got answers that women aren't possessions. You inadvertently shamed people for seeing women as possessions by even saying that people were marrying out of love or attraction and not possession. And because people are on here for a popularity contest, they are going to give the "correct" answer and not THEIR answer. That said, I think everyone who chooses to get MARRIED are in it for possession. Otherwise, why couldn't you love them or be attracted to them WITHOUT marriage? See, marriage IS possession.

I have always thought possession is a terrible thing. I don't get the least bit jealous. In fact, I say the attempt to own someone is criminal.

I've never thought that marriage is forever. When I married my second wife, we had an understanding that either one of us could have affairs. Marriage is about commitment for a time.

your kinda all over the place, but I'll just say that you cant be someone's possession, if you feel that way you can get a divorce. I do want to be with my wife forever, but I'm also a man so I can see myself with other women, not that I do anything about it.

It was because I loved her, we were inseperable, and we had common longterm goals. She was someone I could see myself continuing to grow with. I couldnt imagine marrying somebody so they would become a 'possession.' That isnt a concept that I understand. Maybe its it's because I'm a guy that I dont understand that? Is that why women marry men...so that they possess their husbands?

Marriage is about 2 people coming together because they want to remain that way. What possessions they have, they share.

I married my wife bc i wanted t0 have a family with her and if we did n0t get married first, 0ur children w0uld n0t be legitmate and dynastic. we never inv0lved the g0vernemnt in it, 0nly the church. bef0re marriage she was my Lady, and afyer she was my Lady and my wife. the cerem0ny was 0nly d0ne t0 abide by the rules and traditins 0f b0th 0f 0ur families. I am n0 m0re p0ssesive 0f her n0w than I was bef0re. But he is mine....n0t a slave 0r anyhting like that, but we are a family n0w and i am the head 0f it.

I would marry her because of her saintliness.

Any woman who would put up with me, would be a saint.

The first paragraph is correct.

The last part is wrong.

Some culture do that.
