Married After Kids

Ep. 73: The Biggest Lies You’ve Been Told About Healthy Marriages


Listen Later

You’ve heard the advice: “Never go to bed angry,” “Happy wife, happy life,” “If it’s hard, you married the wrong person.” But what if I told you that a lot of the messages we’ve been fed about healthy marriages are just plain wrong?


In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reasons so many couples feel disconnected or overwhelmed after kids and how these common myths are setting you up to struggle. If your marriage hasn’t felt easy, or you’ve wondered why all the “right” things don’t seem to work, this one is for you.


I’ll walk you through the biggest lies we’ve been told about marriage, why they’re so harmful, and what actually helps create connection, support, and partnership that lasts.


Tune in to discover:

  • The number one reason you were never set up for success in marriage
  • Why the mental load is still invisible even to the person carrying it
  • The truth about conflict in front of your kids (and why it can actually help)
  • What to do when your efforts to fix things don’t seem to work
  • Why your marriage won’t bounce back on its own after a baby
