Laurell K. HamiltonI didn't want to pick at Micah and me until we unraveled. I wanted to leave it alone and enjoy it. I just didn't know how to do that.
About This Quote
When someone is struggling with a relationship, it’s important not to just pick at the issue. Instead, it’s important to leave it alone and enjoy what is going well in the relationship. For example, when Micah and I were fighting before we got married, we would pick at each other about things like how we looked or how we sounded. However, we would also talk about how happy we were and how great our relationship was and how much we loved each other.
Eventually, those conversations turned into those weeks where we made up and had fun together. I think that’s the key to resolving any conflict or problem that is dividing us as people or as a couple. It’s important to be honest with each other and acknowledge the good things we have going on in our relationship without focusing on the issues that are driving us apart.
That way, we can move forward and build something united and stronger than ever before.
