Marital partnership is one of the essential elements of healthy marriage. Unloading mental load for couples so that they can feel more relaxed co-manage their family and get actively involved especially in the day-to-day upbringing of their children. Sometimes they need this relieve from their partners but they lack the right language or even don’t know how to go about unloading this mental load, this is because they are scared of what everyone will make of it, the pressure is already there disrupting healthy pathway to marital partnership, running a family; preparations, taking care of the children, settling of bills and all whatnot come from healthy partnership which both partners can come together and make a list of what they are expected to handle, without leaving it unprepared. One party may think that his sole duty is to pay all the bills while the other may settle with domestic arrangements.
It is about the level of engagement from both parties, how they handle their daily schedules. Most of the time, children crave for presence of their father but they could hardly get enough of that. Mothers cook, serve meals, prepare them for school, take care of their school work and sing lullaby to send them to sleep, when it becomes difficult to sleep. Children that enjoy the company of both parents through marital partnership tend to grow in different atmosphere. It is like a father missing his child graduation, because he thinks that, his wife is already after all he doesn’t necessarily needs to be there, once he has paid all the required payments.
