The #1 Issue That Strains Most Relationships with Fairplay’s Eve Rodsky

from The Paula Faris Show · host That Sounds Fun Network

This is the #1 strain on most relationships…and is a tough conversation. It's so triggering that most of us don’t have it.  So what is it? The household labor. Who is doing what around the home? We don’t know how to talk about sharing the load without triggering or nagging our partner.  So, I’ve invited Eve Rodsky, an expert and NYT best-selling author of Fair Play, to the conversation. Eve’s book became a documentary that has now become a movement. She is saving relationships with her three-step approach to having these tough conversations.  We can’t invalidate the importance of talking about this because it is such a stressor and strain on relationships. So much so, 25% of couples end up divorcing because of those little things–the sponge left in the sink, the garbage not being taken out. Why? Because it starts to invalidate the other person.  This is an episode you’ll want to listen to with your partner!  Life Happens.
