True marriage exists when two partners become one and journey together as one. When they travel by sea,the husband must be the boat and the wife must be the one who steers. When they climb a mountain, the wife must be the walking stick and the husband the climber. In the rain the husband must be the umbrella,and the wife the one who carries it. When they cross the desert one must be the camel and the other must be the rider. Often the positions will have to be  reversed.That is what married life is like.
