Domination of the partner in some ways or the other is the likely thought in a marriage. Most times it is the amount of rope each one gives the other that sets the trend for that particular relationship.

Normally everything is hunky dory in the first couple of years of marriage. The woman by this time has already set the pieces rolling by just asking very small things, then small demands and then starts setting tiny rules at home. It is all a pattern and it comes naturally to a woman. The man is too dumb to notice anything going anywhere. He is too happy doing whatever 'little' is asked from him even if it curtails his perceived liberty.

Suddenly the noose starts tightening and the man wakes up and will be quite furious that by now his life is being controlled. Starts making all the wrong moves by being aggressive, denying everything, suspecting his wife on everything she says or does.

It all depends on background, status, financial aspects and filial consideration how the relationship progresses well or goes downhill from here.
