Feel free to disagree, but I am a firm believer that marriage is not a 50\/50 deal. Some days, you get more sleep, have more personal time, more quiet time, more time to invest in things that bring you joy and renewal. Other days, it\u2019s your spouse\u2019s turn for a calm, peaceful day. Some days, everything that could go wrong for you does, and on other days, your spouse is in that same sinking ship.<\/p>\n
Often, these days are more like seasons, days and weeks on end that are hard, and it\u2019s important that you take note of your spouse\u2019s well-being. Are they exhausted from constantly carpooling the kids everywhere? Is your spouse the one who always cooks, cleans, and keeps the house tidy? Do they get up with the babies every night? Are they the ones clocking 40+ hours at the office week after week?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to make a mental list of all the ways you are running on empty, but it\u2019s likely your spouse feels the same. Check in with each other, and don\u2019t ignore one another\u2019s burnout. You guys are a team. Some days, you\u2019re carrying the burden, and on other days, they are. Be each other\u2019s support on those burdensome, heavy days.<\/p>\n
