Mikael Daez and Megan Young share the power dynamic in their relationship

By Felix Ilaya

In the latest episode of Mikael Daez and Megan Young's podcast, '#BehindRelationshipGoals,' the celebrity couple talk about their roles as "husband" and "wife" in their relationship.

They started their discussion by first talking about the typical roles men and women play in the family such as one being the breadwinner and the other as the homemaker.

After looking at their relationship through the lens of that power dynamic, both Mikael and Megan realized that they, as a couple, don't really subscribe to that kind of thinking.

Since they both grew up in dual income households, Mikael and Megan saw how their parents both embodied the roles of a breadwinner and homemaker.

With that in mind, the couple then shared in the podcast how their setup works as a couple.

There, Megan remembered a piece of marriage advice they received from the priest that wed them.

According to Megan, "One of the things that Father Francis, our priest who married us, wanted to remind us is 'As a couple, you need to talk about what responsibilities you both have inside and outside of the home. So Megan, you need to talk to Mikael with the things that you feel that you will be more efficient with, that you will be able to contribute more to. And then Mikael needs to do the same with Megan. And then you meet middle ground to see kung saan n'yo hahatiin 'yung mga responsibilidad n'yo sa bahay.'"

Mikael also shared what roles they play in their household, "In other words, we play to our strengths. For example, I'm good with numbers, I'll take care of the financials. If Megan is better with handling people, she's the one handling all the bills payments or any other household necessities that require interacting with people.

"But the pitfall there is that there are times na may same weakness tayo. Cleanliness is both our weaknesses so paano 'yon? So that's where we need to come together and start saying 'Okay paano 'to? Tulungan tayo dito. You remind me and I'll remind you on what you have to clean or if you didn't do a very good job.'"
