Things felt off between us. Distant. I wanted to blame him… but then I paused. Maybe my stress was leaking into our marriage. Maybe I hadn’t been showing up either. So I said it out loud: “I see how I’ve been acting. I’m working on it.” In marriage, it’s not about proving who’s right—it’s about protecting the bond. Your feelings matter, but so do theirs. Don’t wait for your partner to fix it first. Look inward. Then reach out. #marriedlife #relationshiptips #emotionalintimacy
