I feel this discussion should be redefined as Marriage in the 21st century. I am in my 40s, and was fortunate to be raise in a home with both my parents, and my older sister had a different father than myself. Both my parents worked ( my mom ran her own daycare, and my dad worked for Dupont). My father was never a tyrant, and he always helped around the house, yet he was clearly the head of our home. My parents were true partners and really complimented each other. They were supportive of each other's flaws and strengths. They have been married for 51 years.
That is amazing. We would love to have a conversation with a couple that found a way to be happy and love each other equally. You are blessed to have such a great example growing up.
This the thing check ya expectations. People need to decide what works for them and find that person for them. That being said the husband role is to love his wife and the lady role is to respect the husband. My marriage is just that. We do this for one another through our love languages. Also We bring to the table All of ourselves to get things done by communicating deligating ALL tasks in a productive way. No one is above doing anything.
Many ppl get married and say I do and the things they will do for one another. Along the way everything else that came after the I do’s takes over; kids, work, chores, family, extracurricular, so and so forth. Everything else gets prioritized and they miss nurturing and supporting one another. The two are better than one. But both have to support one another through different seasons in life. Life is going to happen and bring about so many changes. An environment that supports all the members, especially the ones holding down the fort has to established for a lasting foundation.
I would say be the partner wife /husband boyfriend / girlfriend domestic partner everything in a relationship is 100 - 100 not 50/50. You must give 100% of yourself to each other at all times. Maybe one day he's 30 she gotta be 70. Or she 10 and he the 90. You must be complimentary and honor each other with the utmost honor and respect. Then the love and the love languages will naturally flow. Accentuate their qualities and their flaws will diminish. That goes both ways.

Sounds like a very healthy marriage. Thank you for you feedback. The female perspective is always needed on these topics.
