299. Why The Word "Help" Is So Triggering For So Many Couples

It is amazing how certain words can be so triggering for some spouses and the word "help" is one of these words that can have good intentions, but can also be very triggering. For example, when one spouse says, "How can I help?" it may unintentionally create a hierarchy where one spouse is the "manager" and the other the "assistant." When a spouse offers to "help" with something like dishes, laundry, or managing the kids, it seems like a thoughtful, kind gesture on the surface. However, for many spouses—especially wives—the word "help" can imply that these tasks are primarily their responsibility and that the other spouse is just stepping in to lend a hand.In this episode we talk about how you can start reframing the language of "help", and instead of "helping" start "doing" so you can work together as a team in your marriage. If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.
