I thought the one who takes lead was outlined in their marriage vows. Nynaeve has authority in public settings, while Lan rules their private life. I don't see Lan's annointment to Kingship disrupting this dynamic, really.

They're supposed to switch if one is promoted over the other. Whoever holds the most power in public has to obey in private so the relationship always stays equal.

True, but Aes Sedai are more equal than others. *MN* Joel - 16/05/2011 09:11:40 PM 873 Views

Of course the setting is malleable in TAR. fionwe1987 - 19/05/2011 04:21:50 PM 988 Views
What we know about the Malkieri customs from NS seems to supports this too Zeratul - 17/05/2011 10:32:20 AM 1165 Views
