One of the invisible forces is emotional labor which determines relationships, but never receives as much attention as it should. Women are burdened with the responsibility of attending to the emotions, ensuring peace, and predicting demands in most cases without appreciation. It is not only the kindness; it is the always-thinking-ahead, conflict-smoothing, and emotional-balance-maintaining. This invisible job might be tiresome over a long period of time, particularly when it is unilateral. Getting emotional labor is not about blame, it is about consciousness. This is even true when both the partners realize and assume such a responsibility together, such relationships will be even less burdened, looked up to with even more respect and become truly nurturing of all the involved members in the long term.
