By getting married you are not just getting a wife, you are getting your whole world

i am surprised how pigheaded and narrow minded the "moderate muslims " are today
u are basing ur perceptions of husband-wife relationship on western concepts which have developed in the last 50 yrs
no need to misquote some Quranic verses
also the examples of Prophet's wives are taken out of context
The closest people to Prophet were his COMPANIONS not his wives. Prophet based his decisions on their opinions NOT the wives.Wives were to STAY IN THEIR HOUSES.
Khadija was closer because in those days there were very few companions and khadija was the first convert.Prophet enjoyed the company of his wives as all men should but they were not his closest companions.
