According to Oxford dictionary, yes is described as an indication that one agrees with what has been said, it is also an agreement between two persons or group of persons for a concept over a particular thing. It could also be seen as an agreement between a man and a woman to be friends which could lead to marriage. One wonders therefore, while trying to win a girl’s heart, the man uses everything at his disposal to woo the girl to himself and even promising not to hurt her feeling but to love and care for her just because the girl had never said yes. But the moment the girl says yes to his request, that automatically gives the man power over the girl not minding the promises made before the girl answered yes.
Some men turn their girl friends or wives into slaves, beating them for every mistake made as if they are not human beings. Why? Have these men forgotten the first day they saw those girls, the feelings and attraction at that first time that eventually led to marriage? It is that same feelings that made some people call their wives different names like darling, honey, sweet, mine. Is it love that made them to be addressed by their husbands/friends by such names or is it said without attaching any importance to those names? When you love somebody you don’t think of hurting the person let alone turning such a person to a punching bag. The Holy Bible made us to understand that the greatest thing is love which covers every thing on earth (1Cor. 13:13).
There was a man who the moment he saw his wife, fell in love and started calling her honey until one fateful day when this man beat up his wife simply because of little thing that ought not to have brought misunderstanding between them. You see, because of this beating, women are afraid of their husbands. At times they are not comfortable when these men are around, instead of respecting them they are afraid and this can psychologically affect the children because children are more closer to their mothers, and they may start having ill feelings towards their fathers. Yes should not be seen as a guarantee to turn our wives into slaves rather is should be seen as s sign of agreement for both parties to live together, to love, care and also to protect and defend each other when the need arises.
