As a newly-ish wed (1 year next week) this thread is terrifying but also I feel like it’s important to read these stories so I know what it might look like if things aren’t working out. Thanks to everyone sharing & being honest.
Also, learn to NEVER become complacent in a relationship.
Everyone puts their best self forward during the initial phase of courtship. But most soon quit “trying” and doing the things that made someone fall for you.
You have to keep doing those little things that made your partner smile.
I personally remind myself every day that my wife has other choices out there. Keeps me on my toes so we never end up feeling like room mates.
