Shift from winning to allying—watch everything change. 🙏

Start here: the present moment is where connection lives. 🧭

Are you listening? 👂

Your compass in conflict: track the aperture. ✨

Aperture isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. ✨

This is your innate capacity—it’s not something you have to earn or develop from scratch. But like a radio station just slightly off-tune, it needs attention. When you learn to listen, relationships transform.

🔍 Where is your aperture guiding you today?

Many of us expect our partner to already know how to communicate, apologize, or manage conflict.

But what if they never learned?

Relationship skills aren't innate—they're taught, modeled, practiced. One person might be fluent in feelings; the other barely speaks the language.

When both partners are willing to learn, the potential is enormous. But we have to turn toward each other with curiosity, not contempt.

You’re not broken—you’re learning. Together.

No relationship is perfect. Whether your person is just not meeting your sexual needs or doesn’t really show you they love you much anymore, it’s normal for life to sometimes make it hard to be the best partner you can. Maybe there have even been affairs or ultimatums thrown into the mix. But when it comes to hard conversations about what we need, is it even worth it? Can people actually change, or are you doomed to be the only person pulling your weight around the house ‘til death do you part?

❤️ Many positives go unnoticed or get taken for granted in the life of a couple. ⁣

John Gottman studied the differences between relationships that continued and⁣ those that came apart.

He found that one of these things is that the ratio of good times to bad in lasting relationships is five to one.⁣
⁣
When we take these things for granted, we forget that having a partner is a gift.

Not everyone has another person in their life to share the chores, the struggles and joys.

Our efforts to grow together must include appreciating the everyday positive experiences that sustain us.
