Love in a marriage can survive only if both partners have self respect.otherwise it's just compromising.
But when your self respect becomes ego then love fades.
Eg.
In diya making scene , both uma and Kanak held onto their ego.
Uma thought woman cannot do anything alone, which is not true. And Kanak thought I can do this alone.
But the truth is no individual can do everything single handedly. Be it man or woman.
When they go to village before alcohol incident she is afraid to be left alone. But she doesn't ask due to her ego. Same way in Kerala bus incident and village bull cart incident.
Feminism is not about doing better. It's just that we want respect equally for our tasks which we do better. We don't want anybody to look at those some menial tasks.
E.g there is couple. Husband has shop and he sits there for 1 1 hours and brings money. He sends veggies, pays electricity, c able bill.Wife does house duties as per her capacity . She washes clothes and cooks food three times and does dishes. For cleaning there is maid. She pays her out of monthly money she gets from her husband. She wears good clothes and has good jewellery , enough attention. Whenever there are lot of guests. They call cook as well.
What's wrong in this. If she asks husband to share house responsibilities as well their life balance will be lost. He will be over burdened.
There is nothing like that if somebody works in house is regressive.
So everything is your perspective
