pluralObligations? Service? Are we talking about serfdom or a relationship?
What is a marriage or even a relationship for that matter but a contract of obligations and services?
In the case of a marriage, it is a written contract, but even the least serious of intimate relationships could be considered a verbal contract.
In its essence, in constructing a serious relationship or marriage both parties agree to make every effort to meet the physical, emotional and intellectual needs of the other.
Marriage is indeed, at least in my opinion, servitude, not to each other but to the relationship as a seperate entity, both parties agree to serve the relationship thus working towards a common good, even if at times it seems less than convenient.
There will always be a time, in any relationship, when you may feel less than perfectly loving adoration towards your partner, sometimes it may even border on disgust. If you fail to serve the relationship, even when upset with your partner, the relationship will wither, die and ultimately fail.
