Also, the women should hundred percent obey to their husband. But the time was changing, the women have became independent and powerful in marriage, they are no longer to be an inferior and confront to unfair treatment in marriage. Husbands shouldnt be dominant as usual. Education changes the social position of man and woman. In tradition, the male was given chance to study at school, but the female was just staying at home, there was an idiom called female got no talent is good. It shows that ancient female was staying in a low social position. But now, both of the male and female can be educated. The female has their own thought and ability. So, the female can fights for the things they want and not fully obey to their husband. Education advocates the equality of male and female, it is important to raise the social position of female and make them not limit to the old marriage vow. Moreover, economic structure change makes female more independent. Many years ago, the economic structure was mainly depended on agriculture and industry. The men have physically benefit, so the husband was the main provider in the family and the wife requires to rely on their husband. But the society is different, there are lots of jobs provided for the people who are knowledgeable. It means that the female has their own ability to earn money and no need to count on anyone.

Both of husband and wife also need to contribute financially to the family. Wife should not be treated as an inferior and husband should not be dominant. Finally, different time change ones responsibility. In ancient time, the wife is no need to work, so they were just in responsible for taking care of children and doing housework at home. Then, the husband needed to go to work for raising their wife and children. But now, the husband and the wife has ability to work, so most couple are taking the same responsibility in a family. For example, take care of children, share the housework. Besides that, couple have the same rights too. Because both of the couple are also make financial contribution to family. So, they have right to use their own money or make friends with other people. In conclusion, there are lots of reasons to affect the relationship, the responsibility and the rights of couples. Wives are not inferior and just obey to their husband unfairly. An ideal marriage is one of equality and mutual respect.
