No More Perfect Podcast with Jill Savage
When You're the Only One Doing the Work in Marriage | Episode 300
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you feeling worn out from doing all the heavy lifting in your marriage? You are the only spouse who is putting in the effort to listen to podcasts, read the books, and initiate thoughtful conversations—or at least it feels that way.
Resentment is slowly starting to build as you think to yourself over and over, “Why am I the only one doing the work to improve our marriage?”
The topic for this conversation was inspired by a listener-submitted question that asks:
“Is the woman in the marriage the one who does most of the heavy lifting to promote emotional growth?”
This is such an important question, and in this episode, we’re here to answer it. Listen in to hear our thoughts, as well as some tips to help you not only encourage growth in your spouse, but to shift your perspective on the effort they are already putting in.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How your attachment style affects the way you pursue depth in a relationship
- How you can invite connection in your marriage
- How to know when you are being called to accept your partner where they are
- And more!
