If we loved our partners like we love our pets… how different would our relationships feel? 🐾
1. 🐾 “You scratched the couch? Still love you.”
➡️ But your partner forgets the almond milk… and you’re spiraling.
2. 🐾 “Random 3pm nap? Deserved.”
➡️ Partner needs a break? Suddenly… lazy.
3. 🐾 “Every meal is a celebration.”
➡️ Meanwhile, your partner’s effort? Not the right way.
4. 🐾 “Unapologetic affection, all day.”
➡️ When’s the last time you touched your partner just because?
5. 🐾 “We assume the best. We always come back.”
➡️ Are we this generous with grace in love?
6. 🕯️ Coaching, candles, and cuddles with Apollo? Easy.
➡️ Showing up that soft with your human? That’s the work.
We don’t ask Apollo to be perfect.
We don’t punish him for needing rest, affection, reassurance.
We celebrate his quirks, give him the benefit of the doubt, and love him through his moods. 🐶🫶🏻
But with our partners?
We hold onto grudges.
We withhold affection until it’s “earned.”
We assume the worst instead of leaning in with curiosity.
Loving well — really loving well — takes intention, not instinct.
But what if you brought just 10% of that tail-wagging grace into your relationship today? 🤍
Loving your dog is instinct.
Loving your partner — through the messy, the moody, the misunderstood — takes coaching, intention, and yes… sometimes a candle and a good cuddle.
That’s the difference between reacting and repairing.
Between spiraling and softening.
Between old patterns and a new kind of partnership.
Coaching helps you build that bridge.
Candles help you slow down enough to cross it.
And Apollo? He just keeps teaching us how to stay soft.
Because your partner?
They’re just a big ol’ dog soul in a human body… trying their best.
And maybe they need a little more cuddles, too. 🖤
