Well, before we can answer that, first we need to define what "Free" means?
Does it only mean that we need not to pay any money to get it?
The range is somehow too wide. I didn't have to pay money to fly to germany because my husband paid for it. But I had to leave many precious things in my life too. I left my deares people "my whole family", my friends, my job without even knowing for sure that this decision was correct and whether my marriage will last forever or not. That is not money but that the people I left meant the world to me too. I couldn't see my parent so often.
The last visit was nearly 3 years ago. Now I'm expecting my first baby and I can't even hope to see my mother when it's born.
Not only because of the expenses but also because of visa issues.
And I don't even know either, when I could finally travel back there and give my parents a chance to hold their first granddaughter...
So I wouldn't call my present happiness has been gotten for free. There were some sacrifices too and it is more expensive to me than all the cost my husband had to pay to meet me and get me here to live with him :).
But NO, I didn't have a price tag hung on my neck. :-D
He didn't have to pay a bride price, a dowry nor wedding party expenses to get my hand for a marriage ^_^.
So you can help me decide whether my better half is free or not. ;)
