Are traditional marriages still serving women—or holding them back? In this eye-opening episode of A Holistic Dose, we unpack the origins of gender roles, challenge prehistoric myths about division of labor, and explore how women’s roles in marriage have evolved—or stayed frustratingly stuck.

From caveman assumptions to the Industrial Revolution and today’s mental load imbalance, we trace the sociocultural path that’s led to modern-day resentment in relationships. We dig into why 69% of divorces are initiated by women, how outdated roles persist even in progressive homes, and the emotional labor gap that’s leaving many women emotionally and sexually disconnected.

We also ask:



•


Can egalitarian partnerships actually work, or is resentment inevitable?




•


Why are men clinging to a system that no longer serves their partners?




•


Is therapy the new prenup?




•


And what should women be asking for in love—beyond financial support?



Expect raw truths, real-life stories, and empowering strategies for reclaiming agency in relationships. Whether you're married, divorced, or rethinking partnership altogether, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about modern love.
