Pretty much anyone in a seriousrelationshipknows just how important it is to support your partner.
Not just through words but also with deeds!
Husbands in egalitarian marriages spend about 3.5 hours more per week on leisure activities than wives do.
However, even in these cases, the amount of time both partners spent on household chores remained equal.
In short, everyone wants to be admired, respected, loved, and cared for by their partner.
Minor quibbles over things like who gets to do the dishes time around will always happen.
But they dont have to turn into full-blown arguments so long as you remember youre allies.
That way, one partner wont end up feeling like theyre the nanny.
For instance, someone might hate vacuuming or dusting, but their partner kind of loves it.
So, it would make sense for the second person to take on those tasks.
Of course, there are bound to be chores that both partners detest.
To put it simply: take turns.
And if anything seems not to be working, speak up!
Be honest, talk about it.
Dont let your resentment fester.
Nobodys a mind-reader (though that would probably make relationships easier to navigate?).
In this day and age, its widespread for both partners to be working.
With that in mind, its fair that both of them contribute to the housework and childcare.
However, its a decision that both partners need to come to together.
The readers were quick to support the authors decision.
