Every practice in the library, in one list. Narrow it by how long you have, who it is written for, and where you are right now.
Offer your spouse one clear reassurance today: I am here, we are okay.
When they wobble, say the steadying thing plainly rather than assuming they know.
After a fight cools today, say the reconnecting thing: we are still okay.
The fight can leave a quiet fear. Naming that you are still solid puts it to rest.
Name one old hurt with your spouse that still aches, gently and without re-litigating.
When you were not there that day, it marked me. Naming it is not attacking, it is asking to heal.
When your spouse names a wound you caused, listen without defending, even once.
Not I didn't mean to. First: I hear that I hurt you, and I am sorry. Defence can wait.
Looking for a whole subject rather than a single practice? Start from the nine areas.
