Double Standards in Marriage: When It Feels Like the Rules Are Different for You: Episode 401

Double Standards in Marriage: When It Feels Like the Rules Are Different for You: Episode 401

Few things create more frustration in a marriage than the feeling of a double standard—when it seems like the rules are different for you than for your partner. Whether it's around emotional regulation, how long you're "allowed" to feel upset, or what tone is acceptable from whom, these invisible imbalances quietly erode trust and connection over time. In this episode, we unpack the real-life double standards men and women often feel in marriage—and how those dynamics are deeply tied to core fears like unfairness, rejection, or not being heard.

We're not here to point fingers—we're here to name the patterns, give them language, and teach you how to break the cycle without turning on each other. You'll learn how to move beyond keeping score, how to express your needs without weaponizing them, and how to create emotional safety when things feel uneven. If you've ever thought, "Why is it okay when they do it, but not when I do?"—this one is for you.

👉 One way to prevent these double standard dynamics is by consistently building up your "Love Account" through small daily deposits of connection, appreciation, and presence. That's exactly what the Prioritizing Us 30-Day Couples Challenge is designed to help you do. Start today at MyCouplesChallenge.com.
