Check out this podcast episode if a collaborative partnership is something you want to co-create in your marriage.

Partnership in marriage does not mean dividing up tasks equally.

Real partnership in marriage means that equal priority is given to each partner's needs, wants, and desires and that equal value is given to each partner's input, time, and contributions.

As Dr. Julie Hanks says about partnership, "it’s not who does what, it’s who decides who does what."

Many of us will have a difficult time shifting from a power dynamic to a partnership dynamic. The process requires awareness, self-confrontation, and a willingness to have open and honest conversations with your spouse, even when those conversations are uncomfortable.

Join Dr. Finlayson-Fife, Dr. Julie Hanks (), and Monica Packer of the podcast for a powerful discussion on how you can create a more collaborative dynamic in your marriage.
