The Place Where I Belong – Abie Rotenberg – Journeys
Each couple has to work this out for themselves with the help of their Rav, parents or other trusted friends whose advice they respect. No 2 couples are the same and neither are their circumstances. I think each couple has to assess their strengths and weaknesses, their talents and resources and try to use them in the best way to benefit their family and strengthen their bayis neeman. If they both have to work which is very common nowdays then they will need to think outside the box. Don’t think of the duties and Mens work and womens work, think of them as OUR work, OUR home. Also, be realistic about the standards you set for yourselves and each other. A husband and wife are a team not adversaries in a contest.
I tie the tzitzis in a white sock and then put the entire garment in a mesh laundry bag and wash on the gentle cycle with bleach aternative detergent. I find that the bleach eats the fabric and causes them to wear out more quickly. When clean I remove the sock and hang the garment from a hanger to air dry. They come out very nicely and the tzitzis do not tangle.I used to dread washing them but now they are a breeze. Hope this helps.
