Married After Kids

Ep. 227: Where Fair Play Falls Short


Listen Later

Fair Play has changed the conversation around mental load for so many couples, and it is an incredible starting point. But after using it myself and walking clients through it, I’ve seen that sometimes it doesn’t go as far as we hope, and it can even leave couples feeling stuck or disappointed.


In this episode, I’m sharing where Fair Play shines, the gaps I’ve noticed, and what else needs to be in place for this tool to actually create the change you want. If you’ve ever tried Fair Play and still felt frustrated, unseen, or like something was missing, this conversation will give you the clarity and tools to move forward.


Tune in to discover:


• Why Fair Play was groundbreaking and why I still recommend it

• The most important gap the system leaves out (and why it matters so much)

• How life circumstances like travel or shift work complicate the system

• Why divvying up tasks is only part of what makes marriage work

• What else your marriage needs beyond Fair Play to truly thrive
