I'll be married 38yrs next month (2nd marriage was 11yrs first time)...In marriage there is no chores for the adults...Chores are what you give your children to learn responsibility...Adults have shared responsibility...It should never be thought of 50/50...Some days you will give more and some days she will...It's not a competition and you don't keep score...You just do what needs doing as it arises...Women need to be told they are loved frequently...Men just assume they are, women need to hear it...Spend time with her one on one...A walk in the park, or sitting in the backyard just talking is all it takes...The simplest things in life are often the most memorable...If you both want the marriage to succeed it will...It really isn't that difficult...

30 years here, this year.

I usually say,"There's no need to have a cow!" and that settles things...I think...

Remember these words: "Thank you gracious princess, how further may I serve thee?"

Marriage is about sharing ~ the good, the bad, and the mundane.

Your wife asks for help and you call it "nagging?" And you're asking for advice on how to avoid helping her?

 

Here's the secret to a long and happy marriage: Both put the needs and interests of the other ahead of their own. If that's not something you're willing to do, she can do better, and in time, will.

Respect one another, love will follow, love will fade come back but never lose respect for one another. Your marriage is a partnership between two people who take on life together. If you set your foundation solid and right all else is just fuzz.

 

Every once in a while sit her down and share with her what it means to you to share your life with her. Feel free to make shit up. Set a precedent, establish boundaries and responsibilities, do your share.

 

After your love goggles come off and you are both living a routine - reminiscence of the good memories will keep the flame lit.

 

My two cents.

I took 2 1/2 men's Charlie Sheen's approach. "Yes dear, I understand/ you're right". It worked for a long time. The best you can do is say such things and take care of family first. My wife and I split up for completely different reasons. Not the normal rationale!
