Making It Plain

Why would you think as soon as you find the person you are to marry that your services are no longer to submit to your husband when he is looking for you to be. But what about his service?

In both cases the answer would be no, don't answer the question and don't even ask. When I was 13 this 17 year old guy use to come around my mother's home to see me ...
