According to the Merriam webster, the relationship is the interaction between the two or more people in the community. It can be good or bad relationship.
Every culture has the different customs and views about relationships.
As in Islamic culture, the relationship between the husband and wife is equal.
Husband and wife shares the responsibilities of the family. Husband has to take the financial care of the family while wife has to take care the family by completing their needs and brought up the kids.
One good example is the culture in the Arab world that expects women not to drive and always cover themselves. In this case, the man or husband would consciously or subconsciously consider himself superior in regards to all the things he is able to do and she is not. In western and other cultures, such laws are leveraged to favor the woman more in regard to relationships.
