"As a wife, it's not your duty to love your husband. Your responsibility is to respect him" - Woman shares controversial opinion


A woman has sparked debate online after sharing her views on the roles of husbands and wives in marriage.



Speaking in a viral video, she argued that it is not a wife's responsibility to love her husband, insisting that the duty of loving belongs to the man.



According to her, a woman's primary role in marriage is to respect her husband, submit to him, and give him peace of mind.



She claimed that many women struggle in marriage because they focus on loving their husbands instead of fulfilling what she described as their actual responsibilities.



The woman further stated that when a man genuinely loves his wife, respect and submission will come naturally without being forced, maintaining that husbands should never have to demand those qualities.
