Think Again: Why relationships fall apart over dirty dishes — and how to avoid the trap

This interview is part of a new series from Apple News In Conversation called Think Again — a guide to reimagining work, home, relationships, and more. 

In this episode, In Conversation host Shumita Basu talks with Kate Mangino, a gender expert and the author of the book Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home. Mangino points to research that shows women still take on the majority of household responsibilities in different-sex relationships — and she argues there’s a better way for partners to balance the mental and physical labor of running a home. Mangino offers strategies to bring more equity and fairness into our partnerships. Below are excerpts from the interview.
