Apologizing doesn't always mean you're wrong; it means you value your relationship more than your ego. - Mark Matthews

 

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply. - Denis Waitley

 

 

Things I’ve Learned:

 

Owning your side of the street in a relationship is not about blame; it's about taking responsibility for your actions and emotions.

 

In marriage, emotional processing doesn't always sync, but understanding and respecting each other's timelines fosters empathy and connection.

 

Advocating for yourself in a marriage isn't selfish; it's essential for maintaining your sense of self and preserving the integrity of the relationship.

 

True freedom in marriage comes from releasing societal, cultural, and familial expectations and embracing authenticity and intuition.

 

Boundaries in marriage create space for love and respect to flourish while protecting individual needs and identities.

 

Healing your inner child in marriage breaks the cycle of generational pain, fostering growth and understanding within the family unit.

 

Meeting your own needs in marriage isn't selfish; it's an act of self-love that strengthens the foundation of the relationship.
