| Who wears the Pants in your Relationship? |
However, unknowingly, one of the spouses in the relationship is either:
- Wants the remote near him/her
- Argues relentlessly until he/she is a winner
- Fishes for a compliment every now and then
- Picky about going out, thus selects the restaurant/decides upon the evening
- Hardly apologizes
- Handles the chores
- Loves to do most of the talking
- Pays the Bills
The list is endless if a couple sits down to chalk out what they do together and prefer to have it their own way. This will be a good therapy for them if only they get out of it with a smiling face :)
Some of us have just taken the stride in a normal way, and laugh out the defects of the spouse. While some continue to complain now and then, and hope that things get sorted out soon.
What to do?
Some of the issues if divided such as paying bill, doing chores will help divide the work within the marriage and give peace of mind to the other over it.
The other issues need to be either taken with an extra puff of oxygen (by deep breathing) or by rolling your eyes now and then when in such a situation.
Mantra for today: Tolerance towards flaws gives stability to the Marriage.

Great mantra and so try about dividing things up and communicating in a marriage. Trust me we too have had our moments and these two things have been key. Voted as always!! :)
Yes, marriage is all about a little give and take and even swallowing some pride so that the relationship flourishes. Great mantra for today!
Great post! Ultimately, we should divide responsibilities according to our strengths and not make it a power struggle!
I agree with Roshini....we should "wear the pants" depending on our strengths! Thanks for sharing!!
Our relationship is about as equal as you could hope to see. We share chores, we both work, we encourage each other, and we listen and communicate. :)
No one is the boss in our family unless you count the dogs in the discussion. LOL
I live on my own right now so I get all of these responsibilities :) I like the part about who gets control of the remote! Good post xx
On my own so I guess I wear the pants now! I'm following you. :) Thank you for linking up to the Aloha Friday Blog Hop! (I truly appreciate it!!)
