Married After Kids

Ep. 57: Why Can’t You Just Rest?


Listen Later

Being sick is hard enough, but have you ever noticed how it also stirs up tension in your marriage? Maybe it highlights just how uneven the mental load is or leaves you feeling uncared for when you need support the most. If getting sick has ever made you feel resentful, disconnected, or just plain exhausted in more ways than one—this episode is for you.

 

Tune in to discover:

  • Why sickness can trigger disconnection and resentment in your marriage
  • The real reason moms struggle to rest when they’re sick (and why dads don’t)
  • How societal expectations shape the way illness plays out in partnerships
  • The mindset shift that prevents arguments before they start
  • The simple steps you and your spouse can take to support each other better

 

This episode will change how you and your spouse navigate illness and care for each other—so you feel like a team, even when life (or the flu) tries to take you down.
