How To Thrive As Parents AND Partners | Therapist Eli Weinstein on Teamwork, Communication, Avoiding Resentment
Episode 139
Friday, 17 April, 2026
Feel like you and your partner are ships passing in the night lately? Or keeping a quiet mental scorecard over things like laundry and garbage duty? Maintaining a strong relationship while raising kids isn’t easy—and it’s one of the biggest challenges couples face. So if you’ve ever felt the strain of growing responsibilities, misaligned priorities, or resentments creeping in, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re joined by Eli Weinstein—licensed clinical social worker, host of The Dude Therapist Podcast, and author of From I Do to We Do. As a father of two (with a third on the way), Eli offers thoughtful, actionable insights on staying connected, communicating effectively, and navigating the evolving dynamics of partnership during the parenting years. Conversation topics include: • Navigating the shifting dynamics of marriage after becoming parents, and how priorities naturally change • The inevitability of resentment in relationships when needs go unspoken and the importance of open, direct communication • Creating team unity with your partner—adopting an “us versus the chaos” mindset instead of “me versus you” • Tangible tools couples can use to defuse tension and process conflict • Letting go of the past and choosing, together, how to write the next chapter of your relationship story • Recognizing the necessity of self-care in order to better support your partner and family • And more! Stick around to the end for a sub-sub-recurring segment we're calling, Did My Wife Just Hear That Out Loud?LINKSEli Weinstein (homepage)Dude Therapist PodcastFrom I Do To We Do (book)Eli Weinstein (LinkedIn)Eli Weinstein (TikTok)Eli Weinstein (Instagram)DEATH AND (YouTube)This Headache Journey (Apple Podcasts)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast
