“Hello, what are you up to then? Put the seat back down right away, you are definitely not to pee standing up … you will make a right mess…”

How emasculating! I would completely flip out if some toilet seat tried to talk to me like that. I would fucking piss all over it, just to teach it who’s in charge of how I go to the bathroom. Maybe this sort of thing is more acceptable in Germany? It just seems like lunacy to me.

…to underscore that marriage should not be seen as one person possessing the other but each receiving the other as a gift from God.
