Our Ongoing Journey to Being Equal Partners At Work and At Home

The Paula Faris Show

It’s the most vulnerable John and I have ever been about our 25+ year relationship, as we talk about the tensions we’ve navigated in our marriage and how we’ve fumbled our way to being equal partners, at home and at work.

The journey to true partnership hasn’t been easy and, at times, has been clumsier than clean.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about the scary and supportive decision John made for me early on and how we’ve figured out a way to share the load at home, which has been our BIGGEST source of tension. (That reminds me, who is cooking dinner tonight??)

If you didn’t love John already, you’re going to love hearing his heart and journey of how he’s been a true partner in every aspect.

Plus, we discuss some of those antiquated phrases like “stay at home” and “breadwinner”, that just need to go…

Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It!

SUMMARY

In this episode, we are delving into the importance of having a partner who is your biggest cheerleader, the disservice we do to both men and women when we box each other into specific roles, why the 1950s dynamic many of us have romanticized may not be as ideal as we thought, and a method for sharing the tasks of the home that has been a lifesaver for John and I.
