634: Marriage Vows Sep 2, 2016

"Man and wife" is now seen as sexist or archaic; people may instead choose to opt for "husband and wife". 'Wife' comes from the Old English simply meaning 'woman'. 'Husband' on the other hand, comes from Old Norse for "house owner", and even today in the UK some people use 'husband' to mean 'manager' or 'business owner'. The arbitrary nature of words means that people can have a problem with the usage of words that have not always had such intentions.
