A wife does not seek to bear the weight meant to be shared. She can lead with strength when the moment calls, yet she should not be left to navigate the course alone because her partner shrinks from choice, fearing missteps or disapproval. The burden of constant direction wearies even the strongest. True partnership lies not in passivity masked as kindness but in the courage to stand firm, make decisions, and risk being wrong… for love demands presence, not withdrawal.
