16. Balancing Acts: Over and Under Functioning in Relationships

In this episode, we dive into a topic that's incredibly personal and significant to us: the dynamics of over functioning and under functioning in relationships, especially in marriage. We'll discuss how these behaviors manifest, why they happen, and the profound impact they can have on intimacy. We'll share our personal journey, including how over functioning affected our relationship and created distance between us. We'll talk about the struggle of changing these deeply ingrained patterns and how we both had to learn to step back or step up to create a healthier, more balanced partnership.  Whether it's about taking responsibility for someone else's health, managing household chores, or even navigating sexual intimacy, we'll discuss it all. By sharing our insights and experiences, we hope to help you identify and address these patterns in your own relationships. Join us in this conversation to better understand how over functioning and under functioning can affect you and learn ways to create a more intimate and collaborative partnership.
