I think because they both have the same theme, a couple who got separated because of the male patriarchy. The story portrays what a ‘perfect housewife’ should be, when in reality both parties need to be equally involved in creating harmony. The key is always communication. One similarity in the story is that the woman is expected to suppress her own preferences—such as the food she enjoys—simply because her partner does not like it. Therefore, the two stories will likely be very similar in terms of discussion and theme.
