How we speak to each other, enjoy each other, and love each other in the million non–care task spheres of our lives sets a foundation of trust. Michael doesn’t wake up early to get kids ready for the day and that’s fine with me; I assume that means he needs the extra sleep. Likewise, our home is never picture-perfect when he comes home and that’s just fine with him; he assumes that means the kids and I must have had either a really fun or really difficult day.
I really really love and respect this take on teamwork
