Ep. 163: Is The Workload In Your Marriage Feeling Unfair?


Listen Later

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list while trying to maintain a happy marriage?

 

In this episode, we explore the challenges of balancing household tasks and childcare responsibilities within a marriage and how imbalances can lead to feelings of exhaustion, resentment, and disconnection. 

 

Figuring out how to do this together will literally make you happier, strengthen your marriage, and keep your love alive!

 

Tune in to discover:

  • The mental exhaustion of maintaining a household and raising children (which typically falls more on one partner), and its impact on marriages

  • Societal perceptions of women in homemaking and childrearing, and the influence on men's expectations

  • The guilt that arises from not meeting perceived standards

  • Effective ways to approach this topic with your spouse so you can collaborate on strategies TOGETHER

  • Practical tips for achieving a more equitable workload, ultimately strengthening your marriage
