Looking for great sex in your marriage? In today’s episode, I have a candid conversation with relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip where we explore “the mental load” in marriage and how it can affect our sex life. Morgan defines the mental load as the invisible and seemingly never-ending to do list that we carry around in our heads (which often falls on women) and how it can lead to feelings of resentment in relationships. We also talk about the importance of communication and appreciation in marriage and we dive into practical steps for couples to enhance their connection (which can lead to great sex!). This discussion promises to challenge husbands to share the mental load with their wives and will equip listeners with practical tools for improving their relationships.
