I remember my wedding day. It was like any other wedding, except that on that day I fully understood what a vow means. I recall the moment we completed our vows. Make no mistake, I really loved the man I had just married and truly wanted to be married to him. But there was a split second where I sensed that something was changing, shifting. And for me there was an ominousness … [Read more...] about Vows and Cages
