Do they know something we don't?

I am working on my poor Spanish in preparation to join my family in Spain. One of my main weaknesses is vocabulary. I just can't remember the words when I need them. So I decided to study. In doing so, I ran across a couple of words I know -- esposa (wife) and esposo (husband). What I didn't know is that the word esposas is handcuffs (shackles) and esposar is to handcuff or shackle someone. Do you think this reflects the Spanish attitude toward marriage?

Muñeca is doll or wrist . . . go figure . . .
