I always relied on my mother because my mother was a strong figure for us and then suddenly I was by myself. It was me and my husband and of course a man does not really understand all the issues a female goes through with Hijab but he tried to and he was very supportive. 

And we built a life together. This is one thing we did. Whatever choices that we made when we first got married, it was always both of us can be together, both of us would go on one path that both were satisfied with. 

Of course sometimes I had to sacrifice and sometimes he had to sacrifice but I realized that sacrifice does not go with only literary words. If I sacrifice myself for my husband I see that my husband understand it, he realizes that and he is ready to make bigger sacrifices for me and even he has a greater respect for me. 

For example when I went to university and the children came, he would take care of the children and I would go to university. When his work was far, one year we lived next to his work, the next year we lived next to my university. You know we kept on trading off but it was always us and this is very sweet. 

When I lived in America, I never realized her word but one of my friends said you are a very good example for us in the mosque. 

I asked for the reason and she said," You and your husband. It is always "we" and you never say "me". We never see this in western society. It is always us. This is in western society where it is me and nowadays in Iranian societies has become very individualistic.
