Why Parenting Your Spouse Backfires—Even If You Mean Well

When your marriage starts to feel like a to-do list, something deeper is off.

It’s not just that she’s task-oriented.
It’s not just that he’s shutting down.

Sometimes a wife slips into mom-mode—and a husband slips into passivity.
But here’s the truth: both partners have a role to play.

She needs to pull back from control.
He needs to rise up in leadership.

Respect is a two-way street, and when roles get blurry, intimacy suffers.
It’s not about blame—it’s about ownership.

That’s the kind of honest work we do inside Marriage in Bloom.
Because restoring love means rebalancing the way we show up.
