Email of the Day: My Husband and I Make a Great Team

Written by Dr. Laura | 9/27/22 8:15 AM

I wanted to share an argument that my husband and I had the other day. He was micromanaging how I do things around the house instead of rolling up his sleeves and jumping in to help. I told him “Babe, you’re my teammate, not my coach!”

 

In a marriage, you need a teammate, not a coach. A coach’s job is to find everything that is going wrong and try to fix it. A teammate’s job is to play off each other’s strengths and look out for each other.

 

After that conversation, my husband and I immediately changed and started to work as a team, looking out for and helping each other. I love my forever teammate and I’m grateful to be married to a wonderful man.
