Do I need to handle most of the cooking and cleaning as a wife since the Bible instructs women to take care of the home? I have a busy job and don’t want to be a house wife :( but I’m getting burnt out doing the lion share of housework, planning trips, cooking, working etc

1. Taking care of the home looks diff nowadays than back then.
2. Christ died and rose so that we would follow HIS law, not the laws of the land back then. So because of that, He calls us to sacrifice for each other, and to love each other as He loved us.

I say, set expectations based off of convenience and affinity. For example, I love numbers and working with my hands, and being active, so I handle our budget, clean the house, and shop for groceries.
My wife cooks because she loves to and she has TIME to. And she’s in school, so I am happy to help her with this convenience. Not because I make her. We found what’s convenient for us, and what we have a desire to do.
Not every household works this way, but I found it works for us.

TLDR:
Don’t think about the legalism peice. Think about how you can sacrifice (love on) your partner, and how they can do the same for you.

I think loving each other as a couple means spreading the workload evenly, where possible.

Doesn’t make sense for you to do most of the work and most of the home.

I think part of it is being open to hiring help if you’re both highly busy, though.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question... that I’m contemplating right now. At what point is sleep the better choice in the middle of a very busy week? Will I be more productive tomorrow if I call it quits and actually get a full 8 hours tonight? Or do I keep churning out half-assed work product until the wee hours of the night in hopes of catching up, since I’m already two days behind where I need to be?
