Summary
Are you drowning in the "Domestic Bucket" of marriage, leaving zero energy for the "Erotic Bucket"? If you feel more like exhausted roommates than passionate lovers, the culprit might not be a lack of physical desire, but the crushing weight of invisible labor. In Episode 75, Greg and Amy are joined by Dr. Adrian and Kendra Harvey to discuss how the mental load and unequal distribution of household tasks can secretly kill the spark in your relationship. Drawing on core concepts from Eve Rodsky's book Fair Play, this conversation breaks down how to make invisible work visible by truly sharing the conception, planning, and execution of daily responsibilities. Tune in to learn how stepping out of the "default parent" role and creating true domestic equity builds the emotional trust and safety required to reignite physical intimacy. You will also discover the importance of claiming "Unicorn Time" to cultivate your own individual passions, ensuring you have vibrant, attractive energy to bring back to your marriage. Stop letting resentment over chores dictate your sex life, and learn how to share the mental load so you can transition from surviving the day-to-day to passionately choosing each other again.
