Academy Award 2008! ) Being a woman who cherishes the Russo-Ukrainian heritage but eagerly learns from the East and from the West, - I know how cozy it is in the protective manly embrace. But there's indeed a tricky part to it. The woman's hand in the picture looks insulated, and the gremlin on my left shoulder whispers: "Fingers blocked, back exposed!" ) It's very tempting for a woman to curl down and relegate everything on the man. And on the other hand, it's very tempting for a man to take all the reigns and hold the woman from acting. Now my version of the 3d picture... You may like this! Palms together, as if in a prayer. Fingers pointed upward, thumbs embracing each other. Man's hand is bigger so his fingertips reach higher, and deep inside we know that the bulges of the palms fill the dimples sensually. It resembles me of the saying that love is "not staring at each other, but looking in one direction". Seems to me that this "mudra" embodies both ways. ) With warmest wishes, Natalia Very eloquent post! Academy Award 2008! )

Being a woman who cherishes the Russo-Ukrainian heritage but eagerly learns from the East and from the West, – I know how cozy it is in the protective manly embrace.

But there’s indeed a tricky part to it. The woman’s hand in the picture looks insulated, and the gremlin on my left shoulder whispers: “Fingers blocked, back exposed!” )

It’s very tempting for a woman to curl down and relegate everything on the man. And on the other hand, it’s very tempting for a man to take all the reigns and hold the woman from acting.

Now my version of the 3d picture…

It is not so important whose hand is on top at which time, but that the lives are intertwined into one. Sometimes with the beloved wife in the lead, sometimes with the husband. The importance is being together. ;) I think I see the original point. It is not so important whose hand is on top at which time, but that the lives are intertwined into one.

I am learning that it is true: we are two souls melted into each other and still different. It feels so cool and i have no words to describe the love which unites us.

As long as both people know its "us" not me/her I guess the patterns fall into place themselves. Very interesting topic to think about I guess it all depends on the understanding, sometimes it might be just one of them in the picture, what you don’t get to see is the other hand pushing the one hand up, sometimes its the male hand supporting/lifting the female partner up and other times its the other way around.

P.S on the other hand the male side is more protecting, that has been thoughout the himan history - and what is wrong with it? Every woman wants to be protected, even if she does not admit it :)) Dear GranTLC, you are right, on the second picture (these are actually the hands of my husband and me:) the male hand is eclosing the female…but it was only because the male is just bigger! :)

If I were being picky I'd take issue with the male hand enclosing the female in your second picture. Wouldn't a picture of the fingers of both hands intertwined with one another be more representative of a balanced and equal relationship between man and woman? Or is this the way you envision marriage to be, the female resting within the over-arching protection and power of the male? Hmm.
