The lower word to the right refers to the wooden bowl used for serving rice in ancient time when a wife was always lower in status to her husband. When she served rice to her husband she was supposed to lower her head. The meaning of this writing is "let your eyebrows be equal when she lifts the bowl (to serve)". This means equality indicating a loving and harmonious marriage. We often use this as a wedding gift to a couple.
