Better Half Together

In the male dominated middle class society of the Bangladeshi rural area, it is rare to see husband doing care work for the family. But the couple is different from the other people living in the same society. In general man are the earning person in the family and the other time he will spend time with friends or recreation, but the person is really passionate to his family and he love to perticipate household work with his wife because it helps him to spend more time with her. According to him work has no gender dividation. I took this photo because the couple is different and creates a different image of an ideal couple in this male dominated rural society and can help other man to understand that work has no gender dividation.
