What relationship questions have Liz and Zack never asked each other?
Today on the Liz Moody Podcast, my husband, Zach, and I are answering relationship questions that we have never asked each other in our 18 years of being together. These are all based on real research on what actually makes couples closer. So after you use them to get to know us better, send a link to this episode to your partner or to a friend so you can do all the questions together. These are science back to actually bring you closer and they will spark such good conversations. Welcome to the Liz Moody Podcast, where we skip past the BS and get you actual solutions to your real problems so you can feel as good as possible every single day. What's something that we argue about that you think is actually about something else?
So I think like we will argue about like chores, doing dishes or something else like that.
What do you think that's really about?
I think it's about us feeling spacious with time. and feeling like we have the bandwidth to do things ourselves. I don't think either of us really care about doing the thing, but feeling like you're behind on something that lets somebody else down.
We argue about money, and I think that's really about safety.
If we argue about money, I do think you're right. Money feels like it is potentially the difference between safety and not safety.
Especially, as noted, I tend towards anxiety. And so I think I want a little bit more safety.
You tend towards wanting to feel more safe. Yes.
We rocked that. We navigated that difficult terrain with a plum. What's easy for us that might be hard for other couples?
We have... done professional work together a good bit over the years. And I think we probably have more infrastructure for how to like work with each other professionally. Like if we wanted to like work on a project, I think you and I have now worked on enough like business related things.
You hate my design feedback.
Some of your design feedback could use work. And there's like a little bit of scar tissue there too, right? Like I've like done your websites in the past, not for years, but like when we were back in the day, like, yeah, I would like do a website for you and you'd be like, ooh, it's like a little floofy. And I'd be like, that's not a word that we use to describe feedback, right? Like, is it to this? Is it to that? You're like, it's too floofy. And you're like, oh gosh.
But I want it to be shinier.
How do arguments about chores reveal deeper issues in a relationship?
Shinier. Yeah, exactly right. Just make it a mirror. I think because we've navigated like a professional and productivity based stuff together, I think we have more infrastructure of that than like maybe your average couple.
I think we might have a little bit of an easier time navigating weekends and free time than a lot of the couples that I know. I know for a lot of them, they have really different interests. So maybe one partner wants to spend a day golfing or watching sports, and the other partner would rather have quality time doing a walk together or brunch or something like that. I think in general, barring like adventures, but I like a low key adventure. Yeah. I like some novelty rule in my life. I just don't need to do it at the top of a mountain. But barring that, I do think we mostly like to do the same things with our time. And I personally feel quite blessed that you're not like a golf guy where you go golf all weekend.
You like watching tennis, but you're not like we're not losing whole chunks of our lives to things that we don't really share as interests.
That's true. But it'd be weird to see if we had like if I like picked up a deep love of some sort of incredibly like
Time consuming. Time consuming activity. I could too.
Or you did.
Yeah. What could I do?
Just be a big like football fan or something like that.
Yeah. I've tried a few times.
Go sports.
Go sports. Yeah. I don't know what it'd be, but I do think that that makes navigating time together a little bit easier. Okay. And this is sort of a part two. What's hard for us that might be easy for other couples?
I guess that's the question. What's hard for us?
Deciding whether or not to have kids.
