Who eVer knew it would be so much more than just a simpLy life together?

I don't think it has actually changed too much. Even traditionally, there wasn't much of a relationship during the day. It was always work during the day, and then have time for the relationship stuff at night. That is still the way it should be now. Some couples try to make it work by having incredibly different schedules, but this wouldn't work out so well. I think that it should consist of two people who really love each other and work at the same time during the day. They need to set aside time during the evening and at night to see each other and spend time on their relationship. On top of that, they both need time to get away from the relationship a little so that it doesn't completely take over their lives.

Fortunatly, we don't have to worry about that. Asw far as your question, balance is the perfect word. We balance the work and finances. And there are no woman supposed to do this, man is supposwed to do that. I do vacuuming, I do dishes. She doesn't do yardwork but she isw a CNA so she runs around all day taking care of patients. I couldn't afford to keep this house without her and she couldn't afford this house without without me. But we knew we were right for each other.

Yeah its true, its quite true here where I live where theres alot of equality between men and women, at least generally speaking, theres still alot of trouble for people to balance things. For example, mothers are always expected to be mothers, to be the caretakers, and if they work too, that's alot of work, and a lot of stress for them. And then if the husband doesn't help in the house, there's fighting and ends up in divorce, and then the children suffer. Well in everything in a relationship, i think you have to work it out that its fair for both, if its something you agree on and feel like both people are pulling their weight, then that's ok.
