10. Myth: As a married couple, you’ll always split everything evenly.
Just like anything in life, marriages are never perfectly fair, and you shouldn’t expect them to be. It’s almost impossible that each spouse contributes evenly to the marriage, including financially, emotionally, or even when it comes to chores around the house.
There will be times when your partner might go through a hard period at their workplace, and you’ll have to put in extra effort to make things right. But at the same time, there will be times when you’ll need their help, and they will happily offer it to you because that’s what marriage is all about.
There will also be times when you or your spouse will have to pick up the slack in more than one department, as marriage and family therapist Aaron Anderson has explained. However, your effort won’t go unnoticed, and your partner will do the same for you in return.
