You’re sitting on the same couch.
You’re technically “spending time together.”
But one of you is watching reels and the other is 47 videos deep into something you don’t even remember searching for. 😂
Social media isn’t the enemy..we LOVE it! It connects us, entertains us, teaches us things, and gives us plenty to laugh about together.
But when does a helpful tool start hijacking our connection?
On this episode of Marriage Is a Joke, Abe and Elaine are talking about:
📱 Doom-scrolling instead of connecting
😂 Sending reels instead of actually talking
👀 Comparing your very real marriage to everyone else’s highlight reel
🚩 Taking TikTok or IG relationship advice a little too seriously
💬 DMs, old flames, and why online boundaries matter when you’re married
😵💫 The difference between relaxing on your phone and completely checking out
Plus, we share practical ways to enjoy social media WITHOUT letting it take over your marriage.
Our bottom line?
❤️ Use technology to turn TOWARD each other..not away from each other.

#20 The Invisible Load Wives Carry: Understanding the Mental & Emotional Load of Marriage
Have you ever gone to bed exhausted…not because of everything you did, but because of everything you had to think about?
The appointments. The groceries. The school forms. The family calendar. The birthday gifts. The emotional health of the kids. Planning ahead. Remembering the little things. Worrying about the big things.
Research suggests that many wives carry a larger share of the invisible mental and emotional load of family life. In this episode of Marriage Is a Joke, Elaine and Abe dive into why that happens, how it affects marriages, and why this conversation matters.
This isn’t an episode about blaming husbands or keeping score. It’s about understanding each other better.
Abe shares an important perspective, too: sometimes wives are carrying responsibilities they don’t actually have to carry. Together, we talk about how couples can have honest conversations about expectations, recognize the invisible work that’s happening behind the scenes, and find healthier ways to share the load.
If you’ve ever felt mentally exhausted and wondered, “Why am I thinking about everything?”—you’re not alone.
Join us as we unpack the research, share plenty of laughs, introduce our favorite “clipboard” metaphor, and offer practical ideas to help couples become better teammates instead of opponents.
🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and if this episode resonates with you, share it with your spouse or someone you love.

Episode #19 We Almost Divorced at Disneyland: Maximizing Your Vacations This Summer
What is it about vacations that can turn loving couples into exhausted enemies in matching T-shirts?
In this episode of Marriage is a Joke, we unpack why travel can bring out the BEST… and WORST… in marriage. From airport stress and different vacation expectations to overstimulation, spending tension, and “vacation versions” of ourselves showing up, we’re talking about the real reasons couples fight on trips.
We also share one of OUR vacation fights at Disneyland. 😅
In this episode:
✈️ Why vacations amplify stress and attachment needs
🎢 Planner vs spontaneous spouse dynamics
🧠 The “parts” of us that show up while traveling (IFS style)
❤️ How a reset tool can save a trip
☀️ Questions couples SHOULD ask before vacation
😂 And why sometimes all your marriage really needs is snacks and electrolytes
Because honestly…
A vacation doesn’t create problems. It reveals and amplifies them.
The goal isn’t a perfect trip.
It’s learning how to stay connected inside the stress.
