ANTONYM

matrimony
(*matri (mother) mony (support)

Matrimony is the exact opposite of what is described in Genesis 2:18 So in matrimony, it is the man who is expected to meet the needs of the woman. In many nations, matrimony begins with the man bowing, on bended knee, before the woman, as his first act of submission to her, bearing a gift as a subject might do before a ruler. Although all men who enter andromony help their women in certain ways, the basis for andromony is described by God’s own Words, to provide a helper suitable to the man’s needs, who will support the man in his endeavors by serving him.
