How Ayushita and Gerald Situmorang Manage Their Household Without Strict Rules

Kapanlagi.com - Ayushita and her husband, musician Gerald Situmorang, choose a flexible approach to household matters. Both emphasize understanding each other's conditions, rather than enforcing rigid obligations at home.

"If one of us is tired, we don’t impose specific rules. We’re not the type to require waking up at a certain time in the morning to cook," said Ayushita when met at XXI Epicentrum, South Jakarta, recently.

According to Ayushita, overly strict rules can actually turn the home atmosphere into a formal burden. She and Gerald avoid constraining patterns, especially when one of them is not in prime condition.

"If that's the case, the atmosphere will feel like military obligation," said Ayushita.

The approach they chose places communication and empathy as the foundation. Understanding each other's needs and rhythms becomes a way to maintain comfort without adding binding rules.

2. Building Your Own Patterns from the Start

Ayushita emphasizes that there are no specific rules they have implemented since the beginning of their marriage. From the start, both agreed to formulate a pattern that suits the needs of both, rather than following a rigid framework.

"There are no specific rules, really. We both prefer to create a system together that feels most comfortable to live with," said Ayushita.

This choice gives her room to adapt to dynamic situations. The principle is that the system built together must feel comfortable and realistic to implement in daily life.

3. Adjusting Busy Schedules and Making Use of Free Time

Both Ayushita and Gerald are active in the entertainment world. Their varying busyness makes both of them focus on managing their time so that their moments together are well maintained.

"It's just an adjustment, because we both realize that we work in the entertainment world and have our own busy schedules. So, whenever we have free time and can be together, we really have to make the most of that time," said Ayushita.

She added that all these adjustments are made without feeling burdened. They choose to support each other naturally, not out of imposed obligation.

"We don’t see it as a burden or a rigid obligation because naturally we do want to support each other," said Ayushita.
