Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson

Girls Night #303: The Marriage Trick That Eliminates 90% of Your Arguments — with Carl Wilson


Listen Later

Ever wonder how happy couples actually divide up household tasks without constant arguments? In this candid conversation, Stephanie sits down with her husband Carl to reveal the ONE thing that transformed their marriage: figuring out who does what around the house.


After 11 years of marriage, they've cracked the code on avoiding resentment, eliminating daily arguments about chores, and creating a system that actually works. They share their real-life examples (including Carl's Marie Kondo folding methods vs. Stephanie's "bomb went off" approach), how they handle disagreements, and why clarity is the secret to feeling seen and appreciated.


Whether you're newlyweds, engaged, or just tired of fighting about the dishwasher, this episode gives you practical tools to create your own system that works for YOUR relationship.


What You'll Learn:

  • How to inventory and assign household tasks fairly
    • Why traditional gender roles don't have to dictate your marriage
      • Real examples of how Carl and Stephanie divide everything from laundry to meal planning
        • How to handle tasks you both hate (hint: outsourcing isn't just for the wealthy)
          • The importance of acknowledging and appreciating each other's contributions
