This sounds really medieval. Back when marriages were political/financial arrangements, and the wife had a duty to accomdate your every sexual desire, and a greater duty to provide heirs, and most of ‘em died from the effort, you’d definately want to keep her happy with the bling.

Although rewarding your artificially-inseminated surrogate with a shiny token seems like a very sweet thing to do after she grew your family.

(P.S. Suze–you’re already a mother! Do something nice for yourself this weekend. :)
