Overview
Parenting changes a coupleās relationship in fundamental ways, but most parents are too exhausted from the demands of life, work, and engaging their kids to prioritize their relationship. This can lead to repeated conflict and an overwhelming sense of anxiety, anger, hurt, and lonelinessā¦just when you need your partnerās support the most. The good news: conflict is actually a sign that you are trying to connect with your partnerāyouāre just stuck in an old pattern of communication.
In Too Tired to Fight, Erin and Stephen Mitchell use their 20-plus years of counseling experience to walk couples through the 13 conflicts that are not just normal but necessary to keep a partnership strong once kids enter the picture, including:
- The āYour Parenting Is Wrongā Conflict
- The āIām More Tired Than Youā Conflict
- The āStop Choosing Your Family Over Oursā Conflict
- The āSex Life? What Sex Life?ā Conflict
In each scenario, they show how this conflict plays outāand offer scripts, questions for reflection, and their tried-and-true Conflict to Connection Equation that couples can use in the moment to communicate true repair and resolution. Their secret: by expressing your feelings and intentionally listening to your partnerānot just venting or reacting to your stress-response systemāyou can work through the āpain pointsā of parenthood together and actually make your relationship happier and healthier as a result.
