One partner should not think they own the other. There should be give and take and also encouragement and freedom. Not putting the other down.
Mutal respect is important also.
Not-- Oh I am better than you but I will be kind to you.

I must come off as a real ass-hole if that's the image you get of me.
I'm no no way like that, in fact I push her to be more independent and she doesn't like it, this is somewhat typical of Japanese women though, to want to be taken care of, from the under the parents' wing to the husbands.
I'm used to strong independent decisive women in Canada, it's somewhat hard for me to adjust to the relatively submissive indecisive women here.
