Insights:Julie: "Unpaid work is just as valuable as paid work. Recognize and appreciate both in your relationship to avoid unnecessary division."Liz: "Balance division of labor without creating division. The work doesn’t end when the paid job is over—how you divide responsibilities at home matters."Dave: "Beyond paid and unpaid work, there’s the mental load—planning, worrying, organizing. A simple ‘thank you’ for that unseen effort goes a long way."Julie's ResourcesWebsite: DrJulieHanks.com Social Media: @DrJulieHanks Books & Resources: The Assertiveness Guide for Women & Fair Play by Eve Rodsky Visit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org Podcast.stongermarriage.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongerMarriageLife TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strongermarriagelife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/ Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579 Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.com http://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com/
