I think it's referred to as the 'Stockholm Syndrome'.
edited to add: I'm not sure this is truly love. I think it's more preservation and survival.

I don't have an owner. I have a husband.

Can't answer that question because I don't have either. It is an alien concept to me. I certainly don't want the first one.

"Can you love your owner?"
I don't think so, it's an unequal relationship.

@ "can you own your lover." Well, I think you can in the Old Testamant, and maybe the New? (Man-->woman/child)
I think ownership directly conflicts with self-determination and obviously interferes with "respect and honor, love and cherish." I mean, how can you love and cherish something when controlling them, and taking away a most precious basic right?
I think the very act of control is what smothers out any love that could've grown. I think about this not only in the man/woman husbandly owner/ownee relationship, but also in the God/believer relationship.
Any who believe they are slaves of Christ/God and feel they can love God, I'd like to know if that's possible.
