   Who's Carrying The Load? (Part 6 of 10) 10 Things That Can Make or Break Your Marriage

   Nothing kills affection quite like feeling like you're carrying the entire marriage by yourself. It's not about "husbands do this, and wives do that."  And the question isn't whether everything is exactly 50/50.  The realy question is whether both spouses believe the marriage is being carried by BOTH of them. In part 6 of our 10 part series, we discuss more than just the "division of labor" in our homes.  We discuss the importance of being seen, noticed, appreciated, and truly valued as a team mate, a partner in the marriage who making valuable contributions to the health of the family.  We talk about how many wives feel they carry the emotional/mental load in the home, and what husbands can do to lighten that burden. When it comes to housework, kids, scheduling, cooking, yard work, household maintenance, finances - who is doing the lion's share, are both spouses pulling their weight, and most importantly, are we noticing our spouse's efforts, and are we verbalizing our appreciation.  It can go a long way!! Our challenge this week: List what you notice your partner doing, what you feel your partner doesn't notice you doing, and things that you feel your partner does appreciate you doing.  Trade lists - no defense, no judgement.  See what honest conversation around this can produce in your marriage.  If you need a reset in this area, let this be a start. Bonus challenge - Notice what happens when you are thankful for your spouse in specific areas, and actually express that to them this week!

   Follow The Money (Part 5 of 10) 10 Things That Can Make or Break Your Marriage

   Money doesn't always cause every marriage problem, but it has a remarkable ability to expose them. In today's episode (part 5 of 10 part series), we discuss all things finances!! We touch on the different attitudes spouses bring to the subject of our money - spender vs. saver, different priorities, family of origin influences, and more.  We key on the importance budgeting, yes, but more on communication and openly sharing emotions that might be underlying heated conversations around debt, unequal income, "my money/ your money", financial fears, and even the way we parent our kids and 'their" money. One spouse sees $200 spent on something "unnecessary."  The other sees "I work hard.  Why can't I enjoy spending on whatever I want?"  We are NOT arguing about $200.  We are arguing about values, control, and respect. Our challenge this week: Each spouse independently creates three catergories - Needs, Wants, Future, and then compare the lists. We hope this creates new conversations that are more productive, giving each spouse more empathy and insight into where the other is coming from, and creates a united front to tackle this difficult subject as a team!

   The Same Damn Argument (Part 4 of 10) 10 Things That Can Make or Break Your Marriage

   Have you ever had an argument with your spouse and halfway through thought, "Wait, we've had this exact argument 100 times!"? In part 4 of our 10 part series, we discuss recurring arguments, and what's really going on beneath the surface which leads to escalation, stonewalling, defensiveness, criticism, contempt, scorekeeping, and unresolved wounds. The argument is usually NOT about the argument...The dirty dishes mean: "I don't feel appreciated."  The money argument may mean: "I don't feel secure."  The sex argument may mean: "I don't feel desired." We end the episode with our weekly challenge: Next argument, stop and ask: "What are we really fighting about?" then: "What do you need from me right now?" We'd love to hear from you - connect with us on social media, or through the website! As always, thanks for listening, and supporting Long Haul Marriage!
