The truth is today if you have a real desire to make the the relationship work from the begining it needs to be established that all household responsibilitites will be shared.<br />Communication and understanding is they only way to really make it work! Oh, the honeymoon's over.Charmbelle757https://www.blogger.com/profile/13741571039128205929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244301958170782667.post-10671088469216318332009-04-29T19:23:00.000-07:002009-04-29T19:23:00.000-07:00In any relationship there has to be communication....In any relationship there has to be communication. The couple should discuss what will work best for them. Times have changed since our grandmother's era. Women are proving that we can take care of home/family/children/career. Now is it her responsiblity to be the primary caregiver? No! Reason being, couple means "2", therefore the duties must be shared. Yes, I can cook, very well I must say. However, there are times when I'm not feeling the comfort of the kitchen. If my man isn't a good cook, it's called "take your woman out to dinner". There's nothing more sexier than having your man tell you, "don't cook tonight I'm taking you to dinner". So kitchen duty isn't my job, it's a shared, respected, responsiblity. It's not my job to raise a grown man, that was his parent's tour of duty. However, I must end this by saying, many women see the "faulty" traits of a slacker man before marriage. Thinking, things will change once they marry. Wrong, if those traits aren't discussed and tweaked before marriage, they only get worse. He now has the amo to say, "you knew this before I married you". So in order to have a successful realtionship/marriage, talk, take notes, discuss what you like and don't like, areas in need of improvement. There's nothing worst than marrying someone who's still in neutral, while you've shifted gears and driving. The couple has to be on "one accord", "same page". If not, it's called break up/divorce, disaster. <br /><br />~Netta~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
