Marriage partnership and life balance

They say that the secret of a balanced Mom is an involved Dad.  A recent post reads,

"...the best way of boosting your odds of having a workable work-life balance is to make sure you have an equal partner in marriage."

Read the entire post.

The marriage partnership is just that - a partnership.  At times, there are tasks one partner needs to pick up temporarily while the other partner is overloaded.  For example, let's say your spouse is studying to complete an exam for a college course.  The trash, which is usually their responsibility, is piling up in the house.  Maybe it's time for you to lend a hand and take out the trash yourself this time.

It's about give and take.  It's about flowing with the seasons and movements of life.  It's like traveling down a river with bends and twists.  Sometimes life is like rapids and we do just what is needed to stay afloat.  Other times, life is like the lazy river and we can relax a bit.  That's what life balance is.

So, those reading this who are married - examine your marriage relationship.  Is it truly a partnership of give and take, ebb and flow?

Having an equal partnership in marriage can help ensure we are Serving Strong!
