In that episode on marital roles, a few big ideas really stand out:
- Roles constantly change with pregnancy, new babies, job shifts, etc., so you have to expect and plan for change, not fight it.
- The “Sunday Sit Down” is huge: a weekly, calm check‑in to go over schedules, chores, mental load, and what felt hard that week.
- Naming the mental load (who is tracking appointments, kid needs, social plans, etc.) is just as important as dividing chores.
- Clear, kind communication and collaboration beat “keeping score”; you are problem‑solving together, not competing.
Which part of marital roles are you most struggling with right now—division of chores, mental load, or feeling appreciated?
