If you plan to be together a LONG TIME, get more comfortable saying...

1. "My tone was bad just now. Sorry. You didn't deserve that. Let me try again."
No couple gets it right every time. Strong love is not perfect. Strong love is honest. It looks inside. It says, "I was wrong." It chooses growth over ego. You will lose your way sometimes. That's normal. What matters is finding your way back, together.
