Who owns the man?

So I was asked this question . I felt my response wasn't good enough. From a Biblical pov...who really owns a man, the mother or wife? Same applies to women. Who own the woman, mother or husband?

1 Corinthians 11
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Or

Romans 14
11 For it is written:

“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”


In the end we all face God, whether we want to or not.
.
 
Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Everybody ends up answering to God. Christians are simply blessed enough to have accepted the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.
 
1Co_6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1Co_7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
 
No human own any other human. Slavery is illegal. Marriage or parenting doesn't imply ownership.

Unless you mean "own someone" as the gamer slang term for "to defeat someone". In that case I own you all.

Own implies slavery of servitude. As we are willing servants to God He alone is our "owner"
Plain and simple.
Marriage is not about servitude to one another it is about love and working together for the benefit of the marriage and each other. Husband and wife have ownership of the marriage, not of each other.
 
I think jealously protecting each other is for both husband and wife to do. If you truly love your significant other, spouse, whatever you want to call them,you'll fight tooth and nail for their safety and honour and to keep others from trying to infringe into your marriage with nefarious intent. If you don't, I think it's a sign that maybe you don't actually care that much about them.
 
The only one who "owns" any man (or woman) is God. The man is the head of the woman, but this is not ownership. It is the leader, but not owner.

...whose responsibility is it to protect jealously...actually. Thanks lol

The man, as the spiritual leader of the home. He doesn't "protect" it, rather more along the lines of instructing proper paths, which would naturally lead away from it.
You may have just worded that poorly, but I know what you meant. :)

Jealousy is a sign of insecurity.
 
Genesis 2:24
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

When a man & woman marry, neither 'owns' the other. Nor does his mother (or father) or her mother (or father) take priority over the married couple. Any married person who places his/her own parent(s) before the spouse is not living a Bible-identified marriage.

Unfortunately, not all parents and/or married couples understand or live in accordance to Scripture.

Yeah, isn't that funny? My (ex) MIL thought that she was the ruler of me and our household. I never actually laughed in her face about it out of respect, but she tried. She welshed on the wedding also and we had to get married at a JOP instead of have a wedding. A big disappointment to my wife.

That does not sound like a very supportive MIL.

"For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God" Exodus 20:5
Nothing insecure about my God, nothing insecure about looking out for your wife or husband either me thinks, we're not talking jealousy as in envy or in terms of a cheating affair, to protect something jealously,means that you protect it as you would your life. Be it your spouse, children or faith or hopefully all three
