We Syrians have a saying (keep in mind you loose something in the translation).
“Syrian husbands beat their wives, Ashkenaz wives beat their husbands.”
problems must come up when an ashkenazi girl marries a syrian guy… 😉
The first year of marriage the wife speaks and the husband listens. The second year of marriage the husband speaks and the wife listens. The third year of marriage they both speak and the neighbors listen. 😉
