Oh it is not. Before modern times in the OT days even before Proverbs 31 wives were discussed God thought, it's not good for Adam to be alone. He needs a helper and wife. So He made Eve for him and everything worked out fine together as a team where both Adam & Eve were helping each other. Main was the protector and provider for the wife and kids, it's in his Job Description and that's ok. They were essentially married and they did have kids. But Adam had to go to work sometomes and go hunting fpr provisions for the family, he had to leave. Who could possibly stay at camp and watch the kids and keep the fire burning? Eve had to be the housewife! How is that slavery?!
I dont know how old you are but I am guessing that you are single? If marriage is slavery and Eve didnt want to be a slave, she could move out I guess. I dont need a man, she said.
But she still needed provisions for herself and the kids, and of course we know that she took the kids because they always do, right? Her and the kids really love Elk meat because Adam almost always brought that home. And she wants to feed the kids good and stuff, of course. But...she isnt organized or have the desire to walk up the mountain and kill an Elk herself and drag the 800 LB (small one) elk back to came. Adam usually does all that! It's nasty diving into blood up to both elbows and field dressing it and all that...Maybe Adam has some elk steaks that he will give her , for the kids, lol
She went to Adam and asked for some steaks and got turned down! I thought you said you dont need a man?
Well I didnt have so many people to feed anymore so I just killed two rabbits for my dinner and already ate it. Suddenly Eve explodes in anger and starts calling Adam a deadbeat dad and blahblahblah. But what pray tell, did Adam do wrong? She didnt want to be a slave and be a wife, so he let her go. WHat else can you do? If marriage is slavery then the woman must be self sufficient and not be going to men asking for the benefits of having a husband without the responsibilities that come with being a wife!
Do you change your own oil? If you break down on the highway, do you crawl underneath it and go to work yourself or do you call up a man to come help?
It is and must be a partnership. Mutual survival for mutal effort. All those things that are traditionally wifly duties is all the small stuff in life (except perhaps child bearing!) and they stay home at camp and watch the kids and keep the fires burning and even have dinner ready when he gets home from work! (That slavery stuff?)
I was married for 26 yrs and it an absolute joy to come home to warm food being set down and a cheerful atmosphere and all of the little things that (my wife did for me). She took off my boots too, that's nice. Oh I love her for that, it makes it all worth it. It makes me feel like being willing to drop anything at the drop of a hat to do a hard thing for her. Where are you broke down, I'm on my way...Appreciation and love is the currency that flows between a man & his wife fulfilling their needs within their capacity. It's more like saying I love you than it is master-slave!
To me as a man that's a silly way for a woman to think. They still need men. We still need women.
Marriage is slavery Lol!
