The chapter begins with Janie and Tea Cake in the traditional roles of working husband/ stay home and take care of the dinner wife. When Janie and Tea Cake begin to work together their bond becomes even stronger.

Their Eyes Were Watching God

This chapter represents what Janie has dreamed of. The worker husband and stay home wife who has dinner ready. Even though its somewhat what she's been doing she's actually happy doing it. She is in-love and happy to do whatever even working with Tea Cake. When Janie starts working their relationship gets much stronger.
