I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.

Not to sink under being man and wife,But get some color and music out of life?

My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop.

She is a true wife who is clean (suci), expert, chaste, pleasing to the husband, and truthful.

Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music.

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
