I am not completely self-sufficient. I am interdependent. I go for tasks that are faster and easier for me to do myself. And I trust my man to do the things I can't. I am not gonna insist on carrying the heavy suitcase, fixing my own cable box, and opening every jar of honey if he can do a better job.



He is action-oriented. He is my protector and provider. He is my Superman. Doing things for me is how he expresses his love. So I let him do the things he’s good at, whether it’s making his killer mushroom soup, lugging the groceries upstairs with that much-vaunted male upper-body strength, shopping for gadgets, or just taking me to places I am unfamiliar with.
