I hear that when you cover one of your eyes you drastically lower your depth perception. Basically what that means is as you close one of your eyes it becomes harder to tell how far away or close things are. The way I understand it is each eye is a reference point and the brain coordinates what each eye is seeing. Since the brain puts together the two references we can tell how far away things actually are. Basically you make a triangle and the corners are the thing you are looking at, and your two eyes. So we can't really say that one eye is more important than the other, because if you don't have a point of view from each eye you don't make the triangle. It would be like trying to make a triangle with only two corners which is simply a line.
I think the relationship between a husband a wife is something like the relationship between eyes. They each see the world from there own perspective. If they want to grow together and see clearly what they need to do to be closer to God and perfection they have to coordinate with each other. They have to communicate with each other and then they will see with depth what they need to do to progress.
This means, men and women, you need to listen to your husbands and wifes. You need to understand there points of view, where they are coming from and why they have the attitude they have. Together you will be able to see what your family needs to do to grow and improve. Don't try to manipulate each other. Don't try to control each other. Don't try to scare or intimidate each other. Listen, Speak, and be sincere. You won't always agree, and when you don't, and it's something important, pray about it. If it isn't something important to you, but important to your spouse give in, it won't hurt you. If it is something important to you but your spouse doesn't find it so explain why it's so important.
The biggest thing is to listen with humility and to try and understand each others point of views. Remember,
Harmony is the product of being different together.
