Without a wife a home is cold.
Without a ridge the house is leaky.
The Lisu proverb “Without a wife a home is cold. Without a ridge the house is leaky.” beautifully captures the essence of partnership and the necessity of complementary roles in creating a harmonious and functional life. This sentiment is echoed in many cultures and sayings around the world, underscoring the universal truth that balance and cooperation are vital in human relationships.
For instance, the African proverb “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” emphasizes the importance of collaboration and mutual support. Just as a home needs both warmth and protection from the elements, a journey through life is more sustainable and fulfilling when shared with others.
