Been with my wife for 6 years — breakups, makeups, marriage, the whole messy story. The biggest thing that kept us solid? No matter how bad the fight, we still showed up for each other. Even if we were furious, we’d still do the things that mattered: I'd bring her dinner, she'd still come home when it rained. It wasn’t about agreeing in the moment, it was about saying "I still care" without words. Keeping those small promises during fights changed everything. It stopped being about winning and started being about staying connected. Best advice I ever got (and learned the hard way): love loudest when it’s hardest. #relationshipgoals #coupletips #marriagematters
