I can sometimes be a straightforward and blunt person, and I don\u2019t really sugarcoat things too well. Jered has to remind me to just change my tone. Say the same thing in a different way and then he will definitely want to do it. Are you like that? Do you struggle with your tone of voice when you\u2019re asking for help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this episode, Lydia Santos from The Jar Podcast is sharing with us how we can communicate with our husbands to recruit them to help out around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I need this good advice so maybe you do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"083 \\\\ How to Communicate with Your Husband to Get His Help Around the House\" allowtransparency=\"true\" height=\"150\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?i=haa3i-1332e09-pb&amp;from=pb6admin&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;rtl=0&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=f6f6f6&amp;font-color=auto&amp;logo_link=episode_page&amp;btn-skin=1b1b1b\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">pin it<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-683x1024.png\" alt=\"husband and wife communicating about house chores\" class=\"wp-image-4890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-500x750.png 500w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-800x1200.png 800w, https:\/\/habitsandhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-theme-palette-6-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">I&#8217;d love to hear from you!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What were your favorite takeaways from this podcast episode?
