roles & responsibilities

Sometimes, when you've been with one person long enough, you don't always realize how you've divided up life's responsibilities.  This is especially true with parents of young kids.  One person naturally gravitates to the laundry, while another may tend to the garbage.  There is no right or wrong approach - just different approaches.

As my wife and I near our tenth wedding anniversary, I can clearly see the different roles we've both taken on over the years.  I could no more fill her shoes than she could fill mine.  We "work" because we each recognize those areas where the other shines and align ourselves accordingly.  That's marriage, that's love, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
