Throughout history, the notion that marriage is hard work often placed a disproportionate burden on women, who were expected to manage household responsibilities and emotional labor. This unequal distribution of labor continues to be a common issue in modern relationships.

While the idea of marriage as work tends to surface during rocky times in a relationship, it can also serve as a reminder of the ongoing effort required for a successful partnership.
