COT:
Had a call with my sister and brother-in-law last weekend and among the myriad of marriage advice I got, they stressed the importance of just being honest with each other. If we aren’t honest, we aren’t able to share our wants and needs, which can build resentment when they inevitably aren’t addressed or considered. The more we both present and understand others, ourselves, and the nature of the world around us in the truest possible light, the better prepared we can be to respond to things.

Keep in mind not everybody learned the lesson or the experience the first time and some people are just figuring it out later than some. Embrace those moments with grace and patience. We were all a puppy at one point.
