We do not subscribe to Gender Roles in our marriage. 

Point of clarification from the episode: Symphony's POV:  There was no way I was going to date or marry my husband if he was not able to provide financially. He definitely came to the table prepared to handle it all financially. ** As a Black woman - we deserve this, whether we gone be good or not** PERIODT.

Listen in as we discuss how stay calibrated and in on the same the page to ensure our house runs effectively. We break down and define emotional labor, and the steps we take to ensure no one is feeling the burden of too much labor. 

Marriage ( partnership) is about intentional work.
