If you chose mostly A's, you are the perfect wife. You love your husband and you want to care for him through the thick and thin. Keep up the good work!
If you chose mostly B's, you have some work to do. You obviously want nothing to do with your husband and if you had the choice, you would leave in the morning. Now, we can't make your husband better but what we can say is that you should at least make an effort to please him. Maybe then, he will be kinder to you.
If you chose mostly C's, you are an ok wife. You might not love your husband that much, but at least you make the simple effort to please him. Nobody is telling you to be perfect but at least you are trying!
Whats going on in local wife trade?
"I am 14 years old and i was sold to a 38 year old man..." she says,"I scared about what will happen next. I have been trained all of my life for this day and now that it is here, I am not sure what to expect."
After five days with her husband, we talked with Dina again to see what her life is now like.
"After five days with Akkmad, i have started to notice that he is very paranoid. I am not sure why though..." she tells The Mesopotamian Setinal,"At first, I was nervous but now, I realize that there was nothing to worry about."
Why is that we asked her?
"Akkmad is very nice and sweet to me and he treats me like queen. A woman could get used to this!" she exclaimed.
It seems that Dina is very happy where she is!
