\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\fi720\lang1033\f0\fs28 If you respect your wife, she will do the same to you and thus your relationship will grow stronger. You would also earn more respect from others. If you mistreat her and she retaliates, it is again your fault and not hers.
\par Marrying is not equal to acquiring a slave. You cannot treat a free person as a slave. Your wife has married you in order to live with you and to share her life with a man whom she loves. She expects the same things from you as you do from her. Therefore, treat her in a manner in which you would like to be treated.
