Men that cannot even take care of themselves or provide 2 basic meals per day are jumping high and agreeing to this. What a lord.
It’s not even about Feminist. See how we are encouraging slavery in marriage. God forbid my children are motivated by this kind of posts.
Once you are married to the right person, there won’t be any struggle, there won’t be any contention for who is head or not. Submission and love will flow without issues, respect will be natural. But once a man keeps demanding and wants to rule. Then he has missed it.

Jesus paid the ULTIMATE PRICE for the whole field and the lives of men on Earth which validate the legal part of salvation. Another foundation can no man lay except that which is laid which is Christ Jesus. In other words, a single life be it a man or woman CANNOT BE BOUGHT TWICE. bride price does not validate this your assertion. Come to think of it, is the money even enough to compare wat was paid on the girl child Nursery/primary school?
“Just a means of exchange” does not equivalent to one’s precious life my dear.

I don’t agree with this school of thought of yours.
My life is not to please any one because he paid my bride price of how much?
A woman had a life,goal, career, principles before marriage.
Marriage should bring out the best in you and not subject you to pleasing a man all your life.
Jesus gave himself for me completely without conditions.i owe him my life alone.
Not a man.
In marriage it’s team work and partnership.

As a woman, if you aren’t ready to be under the tutorship, rulership and authority of a man, abeg u have no business with marriage.
