Free marriage advice. Some good points to reflect on. How do you feel loved and respected, and how do you make your partner feel the same?

The existence of love, trust, respect, and safety in a relationship is often dependent on moments you might write off as petty disagreements.

Emotions are messengers. Approach them with an attitude of curiosity rather than judgement.

What message is this feeling trying to give me?

The way we feel impacts our behavior. But don’t forget that the way you behave can change the way you feel.

Do something good for your body, read something interesting, meditate, pray, exercise, laugh with a friend, play with a child, help someone else in need, engage in a small act of service anywhere, find a therapist. The ideas are endless. Start by doing something small and pretty soon you’ll find yourself feeling better.

When it comes to change and inner work, consistency is more important than intensity.

Read and repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Be consistent :)

What support can look like. You don’t even have to say anything sometimes, and solutions are not always the goal. Just being with is enough.

Every little step counts. To be effective and self-reinforcing, our goals need to be realistic and within reach. Optimum growth occurs when we have a healthy balance of pushing out of our comfort zone while also remaining within safe limits.
