Marriage Tip 38. Work to your strengths

Splitting all your marital, parental and household jobs right down the middle with your husband sounds fair and effective.

However, in reality it simply doesn't work.

Husbands and wives each have their individual strengths and weaknesses.

One may be good at something and their partner better at another.

In an ideal world we would all learn to be good at everything. But very few of us have the time or energy to do this.

So make things easy on yourselves - work to your strengths.

If you are better at grocery shopping then you do it. If your husband is better at cutting the grass, then let him do it.

As long as there is give and take, it all works out perfectly.
