Gone are the days when housewives were totally dependent on their husbands for grocery shopping or going to the bank for some money withdrawal. Today a house wife is capable of carrying many responsibilities on her shoulders and looking after the house as well. And that is the reason why they are called home managers or home makers. Whether its crockery buying for the kitchen, or buying the computer for her child, she is no longer dependent on her husband for the decision. Today’s house wife takes interest in not only her children’s studies but also her husband’s promotion list. Either it’s paying the electricity bill or putting money in the bank account or attending parent teacher meet at the school, she knows all to do it even if the husband is not around.

It is the demand of today’s times that the husband and wife is self dependant to much extent in their own work. But it does not mean that the husband can’t help around in kitchen or the wife. It is just sharing the responsibility and yet be not dependant on each other that when the other is not around, one feel completely helpless. And the arrangement should be such that it is agreed by both and then only it will ensure smooth understanding between both.

SHARING THE RESPONSIBILITY
It is very important to share the responsibilities without making each other guilty about it. In case of working couples, one should work on an agreed arrangement. For instance who so ever has got more of free time can do more of looking after the house or kids. After the marriage the home becomes their home together and so the responsibilities. So share the responsibilities together and work out on arrangement that suits both of you.

MAKE YOUR MARRIGE WORK
It is very important for both husband and wife to work together towards their dreams and goals and make their marriage work with understanding, cooperation, patience and at times compromise. Life is not only about good things and when bad times come, it is very important to fight it together. Accept the change as they are bound to happen. One should put all efforts as per capability into marriage and make it work.

VALUE EACH OTHERS
It is very important to seek each other’s advice in big decisions. And it is equally important that it is in the knowledge of each other that what is going around in the house. Doing the work yourself does not mean that you take important decisions which might affect your relationship yourself.  Any relationship works on love and trust. It is very important that there is trust element between husband and wife. It is good that wife and husband take care of tasks individually without making the other over worked but at the same time it becomes equally important that they do not hurt each other’s feelings while doing so and in the process they don’t forget to value each other’s sentiments.
