Can a woman still be submnissive to her husband and allow him to lead her household if she is the primary breadwinner?" Does the role reverse? These are the questions explored in Priest Tyaire's critically acclaimed stage play Mrs. Independent.
While Trey maintains an honest and respectable salary of $40,000 per year as a head mechanic, his wife, Carleena, climbs the corporate ladder as an attorney and advances to a six figure salary. This creates not only a financial imbalance, but also raises a question of Trey's intellectual compatibility in Carleena's mind and pushes their once equally yoked marriage off course.
With such a significant gap in their salaries, it becomes increasingly impossible for Try to satisy his wife and this leads toa downward spiral of emotional and spiritual conflict in their relationship.
