Paul, before you go through a tirade like that you really ought to understand the subject. I think that if you really take a look at the subject you would find a completely different approach than the one you suggest.
The relationship between a married couple has been used for centuries, and for good reason, to suggest the proper relationship between Christ and his followers. I do not think that this would be the case if the marriage, and the womans part in it, were so despicable as you suggest. I am currently reading a book called "Beloved Bridegoom" by Donna B. Nielsen. It discusses this topic. It has a sub-title of "Finding Christ in Ancient Jewish Marriage and Family Customs." You might find this very informative.
