Usually, people think of good couples as a perfect fit. They complement each other and things they do in joint effort are a success. When one acts with the support of the other, they both achieve. Much like with politics, a house divided falls.
I'm not saying that you must do everything together. I have already given my thoughts in a previous post about "me time" and "we time." Instead, I am saying this: Recognize and appreciate how each of you plays part in the greatest successes and failures of your life. Behind every great man is a great woman who watched the kids so he could rest, worked to put him through school, or joined him in chasing a pipe dream into profitable reality. Beside every good woman is a man who was not threatened by her success, supportive of her decision to go back to school, and had pancake Saturdays with the kids so she could sleep a few more minutes.
Maybe you are the best doubles in tennis or billiards. Perhaps you keep each other motivated working out. You could even own a business together. Remember, your best joint venture in life is your marriage.
Go Team Powell,
