Spot on, it's about balance. It's about being aware of each others strengths and weaknesses and each partner being able to step back and control their ego when the time is right. There are times when I see my wife is more capable at dealing with a situation and I let her take the lead, there are times when I realise I can handle a situation better and so I step up to the plate.

My wife and I are a finely tuned team and we are equals in the home and with parenting. We respect each other and do our best to put our egos to one side. Of course we're not perfect and it has taken over 10 years to reach this level of cohesion.

It's not easy, but it's worth the work. I also recommend a course of couples therapy. You can never learn too much 👌🏼
