Have you ever felt like you are the only one putting in the work, or maybe you’re putting in a significantly more amount of work than your spouse is? That can feel very unjust. It can feel unfair, and most of us get tired of doing that. We have a question that I think all of us can probably relate to at some point: What if I’m doing more work on my marriage than my spouse?
Key Takeaways:
-
Change Your Step:
Alter your approach in the relationship. When you change how you respond, your spouse will also have to adjust, breaking unhelpful cycles. -
Be Patient:
Trust takes time to rebuild—don’t expect overnight results. Your consistency over time demonstrates commitment. -
Play the Long Game:
Rebuilding a relationship is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on progress, not perfection. -
Fix Your Focus:
What you focus on grows. Shift your attention from what your spouse isn’t doing to the positive changes you’re making and what you want for your marriage.
