Switch Relationship Roles

Duplication or Distribution without Express Permission Forbidden.

Once in a while it can be both fun and educational to `switch

relationship roles’ with each other. It tends to provide both perspective

and respect for the other person's contributions.

He can do all the cooking, cleaning and household chores; while

she mows the lawn, washes the car, and splits fire wood!

Aside from screams about stereotyping gender roles there, the point to

take is that whatever the mix in your home, reverse it occasionally.

There exists a great potential for laughter in doing so, but more

importantly, it causes each person to gain a much more definite

appreciation for all the things their partner usually does, and appreciate

that neither really has the hardest jobs -- just different ones.

You may be surprised that each of you will occasionally find ways to

make these these jobs easier for the other person. Furthermore,

discussing those ideas will not come across as a criticism because its

now tasks you share (if even only occasionally) and understand!

Usually people resent advice, even good advice at times, from anyone

who is deemed to have less experience!

Try it! -- he’ll look as cute in a apron, as she will with grease smudge on

her nose. This will enhance your feeling of being a ‘team’, and of

having genuinely done something together which not only enhanced

your relationship, but also accomplished some things which needed

doing anyway!

In the end it doesn't matter who does what

... because when it's done

there is more time to enjoy each other!
