If you and your significant other live together, do you assign duties or take it one day at a time?

Living with a significant other (or roommate) can be wonderful, it can also be quite hectic.

I’ve noticed some couples take a more organized approach and set specific duties/chores and schedules to what each person in the relationship does during the day. For instance: the wife always cleans and cooks after work, while the husband does the dishes and makes the bed.

Other couples don’t worry about set duties and just go about it day-to-day. If one of them doesn’t feel like making dinner tonight, then the other one picks it up and so on.

Where does your relationship fall between the two? Which way do you think would result in less fighting? How well does it work for you?

If you don’t live with someone else right now, what would you prefer? How was it in past living situations?

- First state who you live with: girl/boyfriend, fiance, wife/husband, roommate or other.
– Then state how long you have been living together.
– And finally go into detail about your living arrangement.
