Married On The Mic Married On The Mic

Rick recently made the comment to Dana that "most wives do their husband's laundry." So do they? Why doesn't Dana do Rick's laundry anymore? She used to. How do you split up the household chores and other stuff that needs to get done? Does it matter who is home more often or who makes more money? What is the "mental load" and why do most women carry it? Do men even know what the "mental load" is? We also talk about the family meeting we had with Rocco and why Dana is having a hard time coming up with podcast ideas.

We kick off Episode 50 with a review of the Garth Brooks concert we went to in Orlando over the weekend... One of us cried, and we both enjoyed the show. We're both a little skeptical about some of the "impromptu" moments with fans during the show though. Then we talk about our "emotional bank accounts" and how we seem to be taking too many withdrawals without making enough deposits. We welcome your comments, questions, and future topic suggestions.

I said Episode 49 at the beginning... Lost count, this is 50!

In this episode we talk about the celebrity deaths that have hit us in the feels. Then we discuss I-to-I communication - Initiator to Inquirer. It's a process we have worked on with our marriage therapist for over a year. It involves learning how to bring up things that bother us without blaming or name-calling, and how to be an interested listener instead of rushing to defend ourselves or fight back. Thank you for listening!

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you'll remember a few years ago we did an episode and then deleted it less than 24 hours after it was released. This is that episode. We've been busy this week and didn't get a chance to record yet... Rick suggested we re-release the "lost" episode... It's about how to confront a friend. Rick tried to nicely confront a friend about a situation that he wasn't happy about, and it didn't go well. We ended up deleting the episode because it caused some drama... But now it's all in the past so here it is!

In this episode, we do a quick re-cap of Rick's "not a surprise" birthday party. We talk about the things we like to do as a couple and why we're worried about getting back into one of them. We also discuss some past issues we had in our Florida community and why we talked to our therapist about them before we moved back. We also talk about why it's important to not take things personally, both in your marriage and with other people.
