Marriage Tip 26. Share control

Being in control is a good thing. It means you're organized, prepared and able to cope with whatever comes your way.

However, too much control can also be a bad thing, particularly in a marriage.

A husband and wife should be a team, and in a team you share responsibility, workloads and ultimately control.

Sometimes you rely on your partner and sometimes he relies on you.

This helps both parties feel valued as well as instilling a sense of self worth.

It also enables your partner to take a break and hand the reigns over to you.
