Good to Know: The Neck
The man is the head, but the woman is the neck.
In a marriage, if you have a good relationship, things should be effortless. But there are times when things blow up.
It happens.
How you deal with it is what matters.
There is a scene in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, 2002, and it goes something like this, the main character Toula is worried about a big aspect of the wedding they are hilariously planning says:
“Dad is so stubborn”.
“What he says goes”.
“The man is the head of the house.”
Her mother replies:
“Let me tell you something Toula, the man is the head, but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants.”
Not many moms tell their daughters this and it’s a shame.
Not down with a traditional relationship?
