1. I stopped trying to control everything. I learned that letting go a bit allowed our relationship to grow.
2. I quit keeping score. I stopped counting who did what and when. This helped us avoid unnecessary arguments.
3. I started taking care of myself. Before, I’d forget about my own happiness. But when I began prioritizing self-care, it made a big difference.
4. I stopped giving my husband the silent treatment during arguments. Instead, we started talking openly. This made it easier to understand each other and solve problems.
5. I quit comparing my marriage to others. Every relationship is different. Understanding this helped me appreciate our unique connection. By letting go of control, avoiding scorekeeping, focusing on self-care, communicating openly, and appreciating our uniqueness, my marriage became much happier.
