Fair Play is the New Foreplay: A Workshop

Modern relationships don’t break down from lack of love, they get strained by invisible work. This Valentine’s Day, learn how to see it, share it, and build a partnership that feels fair.

Using the globally acclaimed Fair Play system, couples will learn the language and tools to divide the mental load without resentment or score-keeping. Less romance clichés, more real teamwork. Expect good humour, guided prompts, private couple conversations, and a practical system you can actually use at home.

Who this is for

• Couples who want a fairer division of household and emotional labour
• Couples who love each other but struggle to talk about chores, planning, or invisible work
• Expecting or new parents navigating shifting roles
• Long-term couples wanting more clarity, less scorekeeping
• Couples curious about the Fair Play method

Who this is not for

• Couples seeking therapy or conflict intervention
• Individuals attending without their partner
• People expecting a lecture; this is participatory

What to bring

• Your partner (mandatory)
• Humility, curiosity, a sense of humour
• Willingness to be honest
• Openness to trying a new system

Everything else is provided.

You’ll leave with:

• A repeatable system for sharing responsibilities
• The cards and handouts to use at home
• A shared understanding of the mental load
• A healthier way to talk about chores, planning, and expectations

It’s playful, honest, and surprisingly romantic, because, let’s face it, fireworks fade and true teamwork lasts.

About the Facilitator:

Natasha Uppal is India’s first Matrescence Coach and Founder of Matrescence India. Natasha studies motherhood, mental load, and what actually makes healthy, long-term partnerships work. The playshop is based on Eve Rodsky’s bestselling Fair Play book and method, a globally recognised system used by couples to re-balance household labour and reclaim time, creativity, and sanity.

Natasha’s approach is bold, evidence-informed, and deeply human. She believes navigating the mental load is a journey, not a judgment, and that conversations about shared labour are one of the most important and intimate forms of care. This playshop is a soft launch into that journey, and a powerful experience for couples who believe that romantic partnerships are sustained by more than candlelight dinners and Netflix and Chill. 🙂
