Married After Kids

Ep. 42: Feeling Unheard and Disconnected In Your Marriage?


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving into something I know so many of us feel but don’t always talk about: that deep need to feel supported and truly connected with our partner. Sometimes, it’s not about what your partner does or doesn’t do; it’s about the little moments that either build trust or chip away at it.


Remember that classic line from The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston? “I want you to want to do the dishes!” It’s a funny moment, but it’s also deeper than that. We're exploring what this really means when it comes to feeling supported by our partners.


Tune in to discover:

  • The 3 most common reasons couples feel unheard and disconnected - and what you can do about it
  • How small, every day promises (like showing up on time or picking up groceries) can significantly impact whether we feel truly supported and seen
  • The truth about the “mental load” and why an imbalance here can lead to resentment
  • Practical tips for creating a fair, flexible system at home where both partners feel valued
