🌠The You of Today is NOT the You of Yesterday Part 1

A funny thing happened on the way to the Forvm

One of the benefits of 25+ years of marriage is you discover aspects of how the other person communicates.

However, there are ALWAYS topics you might have forgotten to discuss, due to the fact they didn’t come up at the beginning of marriage.

Thing is, as marriage continues, we all continue our own *individual* growth.

And if you can keep the lines of communications open when challenges happen, one’s marriage can get better and better!

But if you both start growing apart, a different exertion is needed to *keep* that 25+ years continuing.

Because fun fact – sometimes the easiest way to deal is NOT to deal and to try and submerse your issues down down down. Which is great for a month. A year. A decade. 2 decades.

But most likely…. *sometime* those issues might try to reassert themselves, catching the other partner out of the blue (aka it’s like they’re slapped upside the headed by something *never knew*).

This is often NOT malicious at all. But it IS an indication that more work needs to be done regarding communications.

One of the best videos I found about this is:

Because no matter how hard somepeople might want to say men/women are the same, they generally… ain’t.

Heck, people generally ain’t.

And so a successful marriage is always a work in progress.

Your takeaway?

Try to understand all of the years’ of frustration that might have caused today’s situations, because in almost all cases…

It’s not just one incident that causes the landslide.

It’s approximate 8394789347 unresolved ones…

That do.

Enjoy!
