There's a bit of quid pro quo in every marriage. Certain "rights" were voluntarily surrendered at the altar. And I have not regretted surrendering them for a minute.
As King David said, "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places."
She's asked me not to hunt bear, not to be FaceBook friends with past girlfriends, and not to get a Premium Membership to Salty Cajun. We both have a real affection for the folks here, but there are times when both my wife and daughter criticize y'all a bit for being too "salty". I think their expectations are likely correct that the Premium Membership is saltier rather than more Cajun.
Don't get me wrong, I get up every morning and put on the pants in the family. The buck stops here. As Sarai followed Abram as he wandered from place to place, my wife has followed me all over the country for 24 years. But just as God told Abraham to listen to his wife Sarah, my wife has brought me wisdom and blessing with her advice.
The Constitution is about the boundaries between a government and the people who give consent to be governed. It is a non sequitor to apply it to marriage or family relationships.
