Summary

Today, we had the pleasure of sitting down with relationship expert, wife and mom of two- Dr. Morgan Cutlip to chat about managing the mental load in marriage for more joy, less resentment, and deeper intimacy. All topics she covers in depth in her new book, A Better Share! This conversation was both eye-opening and encouraging. We gained valuable insights on recognizing unhealthy patterns in how we carry our mental loads, how to prevent the resentment from creeping into your marriage and how to keep your marriage playful and fun despite how long it’s been!
