With all fairness, the only valid argument is that every parent will want his or her daughter to be happily married to a man who can guarantee her good life. The tragedy, however, is that societies get skewed in defining how and what ought to be a happy marriage. In this case, in most cultures, happy marriage is mainly described in economic spheres, the innate human heart-the fountains of love get given a wide berth. In this paper, I will present a…

My aunt Sarah took care of me from childhood as if I was one of her children. I was born in Michigan, Kalamazoo, where we lived in one big apartment with the entire extended family.
