Vikas Goel answers “1. I did not see the whole point why Sita...”

Jayanth Kumar asked this question about Sita: Warrior of Mithila (Ram Chandra, #2):

1. I did not see the whole point why Sita who was accepted by the Malayaputras(The deciding authority) as the Vishnu, needs Ram to partner with her. We know that she is capable of being a Vishnu, with the skills she showed at her young age.?

Because according to him Vishnu is the one who establishes a new way of life (which would eventually become evil over time and would need a Mahadev to be born to destroy it). Now Ram has been shown to be always abiding by the law, law is supreme for him but that is not the best way to live your life. Sita, on the other hand, has been shown to be more flexible and believes in more freedom. Now that in itself will not be the perfect way to live (and that is what has led to the downfall in the first place, the chandrawasis way of life). Now to create "Ram Rajya" which will be a completely different way of life and perfect one (at least for some time) they both need to come together and accept each other's ideas and that is what will create that new way of life.
Now coming to Sita, why she decided to partner with him, it was probably because she herself was not sure about her abilities and did not have much confidence in herself. That is quite evident from the mentions of her growing years. She blamed herself for Kushdwaj implementing sanctions of Mithila and did not go back to her mother despite she not blaming her at any point of time. Same is the case with Ram. He has been blamed for something he did not do but at least he did not blame himself and that is why he is more sure of himself when told that he could be the next Vishnu.
Also, he wanted to highlight two warring factions in choosing of Vishnu which is Vishwamitra and Vashishta. (less)
