The Eagle is the most incredible of creatures, able to fly above storms, where no other bird can fly, yet looking after his family is of paramount importance to him. When he goes about selecting a nesting site, a home, he will find the tree or the rock high above where any predator is able to reach. It will be strong enough to hold his nest which in some cases have been known to reach 2 tons and will test those branches by falling out of the sky and crashing into them. They will be branches strong enough to withstand the beating of natures turbulent forces.
He will make sure that there is a good supply of water nearby and that the nest is sheltered and warm enough to house his offspring that are about to enter the "world of eagles".
This big old bird that can fly so high above the earth will then be found taking turns in household duties, he is vital to the success of raising healthy young chicks.
The preparation of the nest, the sitting on the eggs and hatchlings and the hunting for food are all activities that the pair do together. The eagle pair will have a monogamous relationship all the day of their living lives and will remain totally loyal to one another until the day one party dies. In this we see that partnership brings about life and success, ACTIVE participation of BOTH parties leads to success.
"A partnership is an arrangement where parties agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests. Partnerships present the involved parties with special challenges that must be navigated unto agreement. Overarching goals, levels of give-and-take, areas of responsibility, lines of authority and succession, how success is evaluated and distributed and often a variety of other factors must be negotiated" Wiki
When entering into marriage one needs to have an understanding that this is a full partnership for life and that ultimately you will be negotiating boundaries to advance your mutual interests. Your goals, levels of give-and-take, understanding and clear discussion of what you both understand by your areas of responsibility, lines of authority and understanding of successful parenting need to be clearly communicated and agreed upon by both parties.
