Understanding Partnerships and Dirty Work

When working in a pair, whether in a business, a project, or a marriage, it's crucial to recognize that one person often ends up doing a disproportionate amount of dirty work, involving tasks outside their natural abilities. It's essential to identify each other's strengths and weaknesses to better allocate responsibilities.
