Modern Husbands started with a Google search. "How to be a great husband."
I'm just a regular guy married to an exceptional woman. I'm in three fantasy football leagues, an Ohio State Football fanatic, and have fond memories of my childhood in a small rural Ohio town.
I was looking for straightforward, practical advice on how to be a great husband. In my quest to learn how to be a great husband, I have made friendships with people who have dedicated their lives to the essential aspects of being a great spouse. Most of them specialize in managing money and the home as a team.
All of them have lived experiences they can draw from to share their wisdom of what it takes to be a great partner.
Before diving into their treasure trove of wisdom, let's rewind to just over two years ago. Life was simply too much. We both had big jobs, and the non-financial needs of our family became the primary concern.
It was time for me to be the gardener in the relationship and for her to be the rose. For most of our marriage, I had been the breadwinner, working an unhealthy number of hours outside the home. My wife was the gardener, nourishing our home so I could bloom in my career.
We moved from Cincinnati to Atlanta for her career, and with everything else going on, it was my turn to be the gardener in our relationship so she could blossom in her career.
I was very active in supporting our children's caregiving needs and managed the money in our relationship. Personal finance is my professional expertise.
Laundry. Cleaning. Dishes. That's a different story.
So I Googled "how to be a great husband."
The division of labor ā huh? The mental load? What the hell is that?
What I began to learn introduced me to a new and better world for myself, my wife, and my kids.
The post includes answers from some of those I hold dear to my journey. These are experts we can trust to help us better understand how to be great husbands.
Thank you to all of the contributors! https://t.co/X1RreBokyA
