1.     I did not get the fact that her determination will change the rest of the marriage, and by her passion and the willingness, their marriage will be a turning point. Her passion and the willingness to get back on the right track does not solve the primary problem. What I think of love is that respecting, sacrificing, and giving everything together and for each other. Loving is not done by oneself. Marriage is also cannot be carried out alone. It is the couple who make a love story together. So even if she puts lot of efforts and continue to struggle, her husband will not change that easily.

 

2.     I believe Ethiopian wife loved more than his husband. Almost impossible old judges request was fulfilled with power of love because she loved her husband so much. Poking out a lion's hair would probably do her bidding, she might lose her life but she overcome all the obstacles and believed it can be done because she loved her. And on the other hand, the poking out lion's hair was not done right away. She needed patience and little steps closer to the lion. It must have taken lot of days. And where is the husband? There were no signs of her husband in this risky moment. If his husband really loved her so much and got worried and curious about what his wife was up to, he would have showed up and ceased her instantly. Yelling at her wife saying "Are you mad woman? Why do you put yourself in to danger?!". This would mean that he is very shocked and all he think of it is that losing her will tear apart his heart. But none of this happened, so I believe that he does not like her as her wife does.
