Share responsibilities
Problem
Living with your partner involves many responsibilities, such as chores around the house. These minor things can become points of frustration for your partner, and make them feel burdened and exhausted, which leads to arguments.
Solution
Sharing responsibilities and chores around the house in a systematic way can be a great way to reduce minor stressors. Dividing chores around the house equally based on comfort is a great idea, or you can alternate the chores you each do every week.
For example, one partner can get the groceries, while the other can do the laundry.
Benefits
This helps your partner feel supported, helped, and less exhausted in the long run. Doing chores together can also help couples bond, lead to less conflicts, and a happier, healthier relationship.
