Have you ever wondered why some couples seem to flow effortlessly while others constantly clash? The secret often lies in having skills that are complementary rather than identical. When two people bring different strengths to the table—like one person focusing on the numbers while the other thrives on building relationships—they don’t step on each other’s toes. This division of labor allows each partner to lean into what they truly love without the friction of competing perspectives. However, even the most balanced teams need to be intentional about reconnecting when life gets busy. Prioritizing scheduled time to foster closeness ensures that the partnership stays strong amidst the hustle.

[00:00:00]Tim: our skills are so complimentary and different. If we were both good at the same things, I think there’d be issues. But Susan is really good at dealing with the people, being the face of the brand.
[00:00:16]Tim: Uh, you know, things that look good, things that look pretty. She’s really good at that stuff.
[00:00:20]Susan: Biz dev.
[00:00:21]Tim: Yeah, and biz dev. The partnerships, which is like building on those relationships and things like that. And I’m good with the numbers and I’m good with tech, and we really don’t step on each other’s toes ever.
[00:00:33]Susan: I think
[00:00:34]Tim: if we did it would be a lot harder. Mm-hmm. Because then there’d be like, no, I, I wanna do it this way, I wanna do it this way.
[00:00:39]Susan: Yeah.
[00:00:40]Tim: It’s so easy because all the stuff that she loves to do, I don’t even want to touch. ’cause I, I just don’t wanna do it. And all the stuff that I love to do, she doesn’t wanna do it.
[00:00:51]Tim: Like, the last thing she wants to do is fire up a spreadsheet.
[00:00:56]Susan: We’ll workaholics and sometimes we fall apart and then we come back [00:01:00] together.
[00:01:00]Susan: And like this weekend. Our girlfriend said, Hey, I’m available to come over this weekend. And I called her this morning and I said, I’m feeling untethered to Tim right now because they’ve been spending a lot of time together and I’ve been really happy for them to do so. But I said, I really need a weekend to connect with him.
[00:01:18]Susan: ’cause it’s very hard to have sex during the week for us. I mean, it isn’t for him. He would have sex every single morning and night. Blow job in the morning, intercourse at night, every single day. Feed him and fuck him. That’s what he likes. I mean, you know, cook me dinner.
[00:01:33]Tim: I’m a simple guy
[00:01:35]Susan: but I, you know, I, I just like. Put out so much wattage all day long. And I sometimes I just want to eat dinner and watch a show and go to bed and get up. Yeah. And, uh, so I needed the weekend and she’s like, no, of course. Yeah. Take the weekend, reconnect with him. And so our plan this weekend is just to go for a bike ride together, get out in nature, eat [00:02:00] some healthy food, and have a lot of sex and have it be new things, old things, you know, just nice
[00:02:09]Susan: so we just have not had that time recently, so we do get disconnected with each other and we have to plan to come back together.
[00:02:19]Susan: You know, and it’s, it’s a scheduling issue for us and we schedule our love making. We love to do that. We love to have it on the calendar.
[00:02:26]Susan: And then we land on the bed and we see where it goes. And nine times out of 10 it goes well. And one time out of 10 it’s like, can you just tuck me in? I need to go. I just need to go to sleep now. I, I can’t do it. And he’s so gracious about that, which is nice too. But he would have a lot more sex than we do, in all honesty.
[00:02:46]Susan: I would like to as well. I’m always the gating factor. Not him. He’s up for it all the time, so I do my best.
