[Something that may be just as uncomfortable for her as an hour of honesty is from him. He supposes he could ask for the same thing, but why not make things more interesting? Why not exert control, controlling man that he is?]
An entire day of you being by my side, doing whatever it is I ask of you. Mundane tasks, tedious tasks. Or maybe bracing ones, who's to say? I shall call you any pet name you like, and you shall not complain. If I ask you to sing, you sing. If I ask you to dance, you dance. If I ask you to kill-- well, I wouldn't do that.
[That was a joke. Probably.]
No snide remarks, only obedience. A doting, dutiful wife. How does that sound to you?
[Because an entire day's worth of that is equal to an hour of honesty from him, as far as he's concerned.]
