@howmarriedareyou: 👀 Just ‘cause you’ve been married a long time…don’t mean you’ve done marriage for a long time. We were talking to a couple married twice as long as us—and they said it plain: “We’ve been together… but we haven’t really worked on our relationship.” Whew. 😮💨💔 Listen, there’s a difference between sharing a life and actually building one together. 🛠️ That takes intentionality. That takes work. You gotta know your triggers. Know their triggers. Know what makes ‘em feel safe, seen, embarrassed, excited. And then nurture that. Not just coexisting. Not just vibing. But tending the roots so the love can grow. 🌱 🎙️ Listen in.
