No.
They're separate things.

I don't follow your logic, dear.
In your example, there are two clearly separated sentences.
In the example given by Mr. Much, the wife is tucked in the middle of all other possessions of her husband - between his house and his servant.
A wife is a product that is being paid for, plain and simple. Look up the story of Jacob, he paid with 14 years of labor to buy two sister wives. It's a custom often called a "bride price."
