Quote #7

"I am your master… and you're mine. Seems I canna possess your soul without losing my own." (23.180)

These would be good wedding vows, we think, because Jamie realizes that Claire isn't just subservient to him; he is subservient to her in ways, too. Their marriage is a delicate balance, with the scales always tipping back and forth.

Quote #8

"He had money, a good position. And I doubt he beat her." (26.36)

And that's the Highlander's definition of a good marriage. In this time period, is it even necessary for a man to do anything else?

Quote #9

"[I'm] the Sassenach wench Jamie's married." (26.160)

At least Claire has a sense of humor about how atypical her marriage is to Jamie, and how others might view it. People in the clans of Scotland don't typically marry outside them.
