Machiavellian motto: "it's better to be feared than loved".and many a great man down through the centuries have applied this by enthroning a woman and endowing her with powers to rule alongside him as a buffer for the people's discontent and resentment. Think of the late strongman President Marcos of the philippines on the former argentinian military jinta leader- juan peron- same principle.
What then are these flattering popular sayings descriptive of the prized position of women in their partner's lives like " wind beneath my wings", "the power behind the throne"?Notice that in every clause , the allusion to the woman is never on equal footing with man.
How about an agreement that said between husband and wife, wherein the husband take care of all minor decisions that concern the family and she gets to decide on all the major ones. But so far, no major ones have come up with. Another way of saying-"just to buy peace".
