How to Be a Better Partner: A Brief Illustrated Guide for Dads
Who are you?
Dr. Robert Zeitlin
What is your project?
How do you ask your spouse to pitch in more? I’m asking for a friend.
Actually, I’m asking for a lot of friends. There are great tips in “How to Be a Better Partner: A Brief Illustrated Guide for Dads” but … how do you ask the partner-who-doesn’t-get-it?
Readers of my new book told me that they could use a companion guide.
I would LOVE to hear what you have learned in your efforts to balance the workload at home. I need successes and failures. Can you share your stories with me?
In this book, I’ll tell that story and try to provide insights for people facing similar situations.
Can we see some photos?

A snippet of your work in progress:
“How to Be a Better Partner: A Brief Illustrated Guide for Dads” gives you choices: The parent who just wants a couple hacks to try can read the first section like a Grab & Go market.
You can go as deep as you want … or stop there.
Releasing “Better Partner” led to questions:
“How do I get my partner to read the book?” Partners who carry the mental load for their families may not know how to ask.
“How do I approach my overwhelmed partner about doing better?” Are you the partner trying to take on more of the mental load? You may not know how to get the conversation going.
So how can you start these difficult conversations? (this question is the linchpin for the book to do what I intended, to balance some inequities in families)
I am building a companion guide on my website for people who want to use my book to make things better with their partner. To make this a really useful guide, I could use your help. I can go faster alone (create a tip sheet myself) but I can go further together.
Your request:
Are you trying to pick up more of the slack at home?
It’s not easy! I hate to admit it but I can count more failures than successes. How about you? I bet you have a story that you can share!
Have you tried to ask your partner if you are doing better?
Have you found a way to approach your partner about sharing the load without getting into another fight about it?
I want to know what you learned, even if it didn’t go well. I know that you have a goldmine of experiences. If you are willing to share, I want to hear your story!
Readers are asking me for a companion guide to my upcoming book, “How to Be a Better Partner: A Brief Illustrated Guide for Dads.” They could gain from your successes … and your missteps. Will you share your story?
What will you ship at the end of 6 months?
