When couples get stuck in cycles of resentment over daily life

My spouse and I keep having the same fight about household responsibilities and it's not really about the dishes or the laundry anymore - it's about feeling seen and valued and like we're on the same team. We both work full time and we're both exhausted but we can't seem to find our way back to feeling like partners instead of roommates keeping score.
