A husband and wife trade places for a week to better understand one another …or not!
For one week, a husband and wife will take on each other’s lives. Each will make a detailed list for the other to carry out. This is a complete trading places arrangement. The list will encompass duties from every aspect of each other’s lives. They will perform each other’s jobs, hobbies, responsibilities and maintain each other’s entire weekly existence in order to gain an absolute understanding of what makes the other one tick. To assure that they attempt and thoroughly complete each of the items on the list, a “shadow” (friend or co-worker of each spouse) will follow them and report back. On the outset, it may sound easy, but make no mistake; this reverse immersion will undoubtedly induce stress, confusion and hopefully understanding.
