In a same-sex marriage are there two wives or two husbands or do they still use the terms husband and wife?

In general, married gay men refer to each other as husbands (i.e., two husbands and no wife). Married lesbians refer to each other as wives (i.e., two wives and no husband). You can sometimes hear people who are unsure about the appropriate vocabulary use words like "partner" or "spouse." If a man wants to be called a wife, or a woman wants to be called a husband, then that is their prerogative. However, identifying yourself as belonging to the opposite gender is a characteristic of a transgendered person, not a gay person. In that sense, altering the gender-specific vocabulary is an issue separate from same-sex marriage.

Did God really expect husbands to treat their wives like property?

Nope, saying this is wrong in my perspective. The bible says 'Wives obey your Husbands....Husbands love your Wives'. If the wife feels like she's being treated like property then one of the two are not doing their part. We should treat each how how we would like to be treated. God expects us to love each other as we love ourselves. If you love someone it shows through your actions. Husbands that loge the wives will show it in the way they treat her .. Which is the way God intended .. For hem ti be treated with love,care and respect.

Are husband and wife gender-related terms Is there a word to describe each separate partner in a same-sex marriage The word spouse for both seems cold?

A same-sex marriage consists of either two husbands or two wives. The word spouse is usually used when the gender of the person it refers to is not known. With legal recognition of same-sex marriage comes access to the vocabulary of marriage, including such terms as husband, wife, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, father and mother. These terms are all used where appropriate and no adjustment is necessary for gender. There are simply two fathers or two mothers, two husbands or two wives.
