What happens when one partner wants to be heard but the other feels criticized?

I sit down with Owen Squires to talk about the mental load in marriage, male defensiveness, and emotional maturity. Owen shares how becoming a stay-at-home dad changed his understanding of the invisible work women carry and how therapy, sobriety, and accountability helped him become a better partner.

We explore sharing household responsibilities, listening without getting defensive, and breaking patterns that leave couples feeling disconnected.
