How To Get Your Spouse To Help More Around The House

from Highly Sensitive, Happily Married · host Hannah Brooks

Many women I talk to feel as though their husband doesn't contribute enough domestically, like with the household chores like dishes, laundry, etc, or with the kids. If that is going on at all for you, you probably feel resentful about it, and a sense of burden at having to do the lion's share of the domestic load. Who wouldn’t?!This episode will change that, and help you get your partner to contribute more domestically. You see, there is a common pattern that many couples fall into where one partner is taking on a lot more than the other person in terms of taking care of domestic things. And it is rarely just one person's fault. There is a very common dynamic, one that both partners are complicit in, that is the cause of this in most cases: what I call the overfunctioning/underfunctioning dynamic. In this episode you will learn:what that looks like how it leads to this unbalanced and miserable dynamic whether it is happening in your relationshipwhy it's so common for HSPs to fall into and the 3 practical tangible steps you should take to reverse it . . .so you can get the help you deserve around your home and your spouse can feel like a valued contributor he ultimately wants to be deep down. With stories and tangible action steps, you will walk away from this episode with a very practical plan to finally feel like the real domestic and romantic team in life you want to be with your significant other.SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.
