@meet_thefreemans: Making and keeping promises — even small ones — is how we maintain trust and a sense of reliability in a marriage. It’s not about how little the task seems, it’s about integrity and follow-up. If you can’t or won’t do something when you said you would, update your partner. It builds tension when one partner is in a position to have to keep following up. Remember, you’re a team. Communicate like one :) We made the example about holiday decor because this came up with several couples in sessions, hope it’s timely for you too 😂 AND yes, this goes BOTH ways! New to our content?

yessss "hey I know this needs to be done, but realistically I don't think I'll be able to get to it until Thursday. will that work for you or should we find another way?" feels way better than being brushed off.

How is it frustrating for both parties? Seems like the only one dealing with real frustration is the one carrying the mental load of the fact this stuff needs to be put away and the other person agreed to it and can’t seem to do it

I'm sorry are we married to a teenager. if I ask if you can put away the decorations. the only response is "yes, I have time this afternoon" or "yes, but I don't have time this afternoon can this wait for the weekend".

I don’t understand why the partner being asked can’t look at the decorations and see for themselves that they need to be put away and initiate the task or even mention the task needs to be done…

For three years I’m a row I had a dead Christmas tree sat in the garden until July. We now have a fake tree.

Timeline timeline timeline. “I’ll do it (insert time)” or “can you do it by (insert time)”

Why should I have to ask anyways? It’s OUR house and OUR decorations? Why would he want to walk past it everyday after Christmas and not think to put it away. Same with dishes being dirty or laundry needing to be done. Why can’t you see that and just want to do it? You live here too. It shouldn’t be my job always to see what’s messy or needs to be done and ask

Personally, unless it is being done immediately, a yes isn’t good enough, if there is an intention to do it at a later time or date, I need to hear “yes, I will do it later” or “yes, in a bit” otherwise if I just hear yes, I am thinking they are going to do the task I’ve asked them to do to within the next 5 mins

if you say you'll do something and you don't do it then you lied. when you lie you destroy trust. without trust there can be no healthy relationship.

also, if you don't intend to do it immediately, give a specific time frame for when they other can expect the task to be done. reduces follow ups

2025 was stressful. There were many unplanned health issues with family members, and by the time Christmas came around, I was exhausted. Our kids are grown now, and I just didn’t have it in me. I didn’t put up the tree, and no one said a word. On December 14th, my husband asked when “we” were putting up the tree. I explained that I was too tired and just wasn’t feeling it this year. He said we should put it up for the kids — even though they’re 21 and 19, and neither of them had mentioned the absence of a tree. I told him that if he wanted a tree, he was welcome to put it up. He did, and immediately said the kids could decorate it. Again, neither one showed any interest in having a tree this year. I tucked a few flowers onto it. Now I’m just waiting for him to take it down. I’m not going to ask about it. I’m just going to wait.

So if I agree that the holiday decor needs to go, and I will do it, but I don’t want to drop everything and do it at their convenience. What would be a good response?

If it’s a priority to a person then they can do it or ask for assistance doing it. But to assign tasks because that person wants it done, and then to get upset that it wasn’t done in the time frame they deem acceptable, is the issue here.

Normalize asking your wife to do stuff she could easily do by herself but doesn’t.

Then I will get up and do it myself eventually and he does the old “ I said I was gonna do it” routine. Everytime! Or if he eventually get to it, he drags it out over hours. Something that I could probably do myself in minutes,it’s like he’s lost all his stamina when it comes to projects around the house.
