"Say Yes" (Jee Yun Choi)

A husband was known as a considerate husband to his wife because he usually helped his wife through drying dishes like housework. However, it was not hus real thinking. Of course, he wanted to help his wife, but he used to do that to show how considerate he was.
Basically, a husband and his wife havwe had different opinion about gettung married between white people and black people. A wife put a point to the love, and a husband thiught the culture backgroung is important to make a relationship. He thought that white and black people cannot understand each other because of different culture, but a wife thought they even can get married if they really love each other.
Because of this gap of opinions, they made a argument, and they even fought each other. After fighting, the writer states, "when he was done the kitchen looked new, the way it looked when they were first shown the house. It implies the result after fighting. Finally, he changed his mind and he said to his wife that he wants to get married although she would be black person.
At last part, he room went dark and that atmosphere is like first night of them. Actually, his opinion about the relationship between the black and white is still same, but he really loved his wife. Therefore, he tried to change his mind. So, the mood of room was changed like first time they met. It was already implied before as I said above. He felt his wife is like stranger. It is positive meaning, because they can love each other like first time through this effort and experience although both still have a same opinion about the relationship between the black and white. It was possible because they really love each other, so they cam recover from this trouble.
