Breaking the Cycle: Letting Go of Tit-for-Tat in Marriage

Recently, my therapist gently pointed out how much I tend to nit-pick and keep score with my spouse. It was a tough pill to swallow, but I realized how often I fall into the trap of tit-for-tat—counting every little thing, waiting for my partner to make up for my own efforts. It’s exhausting and honestly, it keeps us from truly connecting. I’m learning that love isn’t about keeping score, but about giving freely and trusting that we’re both doing our best. Letting go of the need to be right or even has brought a new sense of peace to our home. Have you ever struggled with this in your relationship?
