I very much disagree with this. This is not the place to get into debates about sexism, however, so I will leave it at that.readandsmile wrote:In marriage, it is a vice versa role. The wife must submit to the husband for the husband must always be the head of the family. The wife is there to help the husband, gives idea, and above all is to understand and love.
To address the topic, I don't think Yaser needed to be submissive to Mariam to save the marriage. They need to strike a better balance between them to be happy. They were both miserable as it was.
