The central problem in the book is that Wynter and Charlotte have different views on what love is. He has been taught by his adoptive Bedouin father that women love but men do not; the man is the sun to the woman, providing, protecting, giving pleasure, etc., but not loving her. Affection, companionship, friendship, etc. needs for men are supposed to be met from some other part of their lives -- their male friends, horses, dogs, etc. Providing for her physical needs is not enough for Charlotte; she does not want to be compartmentalized in his mind into a separate little box labelled "wife". One of them has to change his or her thinking for there to be a lasting marriage. I read on to find out how this would be resolved. It was a pretty good read though I'm not sure I agree that it had a realistic resolution.
