So I guess it wasn't entirely horrible in Ancient Egypt:

[lildreamer316]

"If you are wise, look after your house; love your wife without alloy. Fill her stomach, clothe her back; these are the cares to be bestowed on her person. Caress her, fulfill her desires during the time of her existence; it is a kindness which does honor to its possessor. Be not brutal; tact will influence her better than violence;. . . behold to what she aspires, at what she aims, what she regards. It is that which fixes her in your house; if you repel her, it is an abyss. Open your arms for her, respond to her arms; call her, display to her your love."

-- The Precepts of Ptah-Hotep, c. 2200 BCE

3. I like that

Like I told someone who said that I needed a wife to take care of me:

I don't need a wife for that. I can cook, clean, sew buttons, iron trousers if I have to. I do need a good woman to love and share and stand with who loves me as much.

4. Too Bad Bible abused Egyptians

I love Egyptian history. I love Egyptians most of all for loving, protecting cats!
