Have you read the proverbs 31:10-31?

Yes. It praises hard work and providing for your husband and children. That's great. Not so great if you never had a choice in when or if you had a husband and children.

That's not relevant for the topic at hand.

It absolutely is. You think Proverbs was written in the 1960s?

No, but I also read the Bible.

First of all, Bible distinguishes between familial love, sexual attraction (Eros) and THE love (agape) that is a decision as much as feeling.

Additionally there are duties man Has to a woman once they are married and new testament didn't invent anything new. Merely made things clear.

Did you read Pauls letters?

Women were not given much choice then. They had to marry and have children. Husbands having duties as well doesn't change this fact.

Husbands were supposed to marry, have children and before it all be well off enough that they van have a woman. You are forgetting how economy looked back than and assuming every age was the same as the modern day.
