There’s something funny and oddly comforting about this trend because underneath the joke is actually a really beautiful picture of masculine and feminine energy in a healthy relationship.
The feminine often moves through intuition, emotion, spontaneity, feeling. The masculine brings grounding, protection, logic, leadership. Sometimes that protection sounds like: “Why would you do it that way?” while actively helping you fix the problem anyway 😂
