Simple Ways to Bring More Laughter Into Your Relationship

• Watch something you both find funny

• Share memes or inside jokes

• Be silly without apologizing

• Try something new together

• Laugh at the imperfect moments

You don’t need a plan — just permission.

Big moments are nice.
But relationships are built in the ordinary ones.

Consistent appreciation, trust, and presence create:

• emotional safety

• deeper intimacy

• fewer misunderstandings

• stronger long-term connection

Do not take it personally. This is one of the hardest — and most important — parts of support.

When someone is overwhelmed, they may:

• be quieter than usual

• need more space

• seem distracted or withdrawn

That doesn’t automatically mean:

• they’re upset with you

• they don’t care

• the relationship is in trouble

Support requires emotional maturity — the ability to stay grounded without making their pain about your worth.

The right relationship doesn’t rely on who someone might become someday.
It’s grounded in who they are consistently.

Before you say “I love you,” pause and ask:

Am I loving what is — or what I’m hoping for?

That awareness alone can change everything.

Strong relationships aren’t built on grand gestures — they’re built on consistent weekly habits. Discover the simple things healthy relationships do every week to stay connected, supported, and emotionally safe.

You don’t expect people to read your mind.
You say what you want, need, and value — calmly and directly.

That looks like:

• Expressing expectations early

• Speaking up when something feels off

• Choosing honesty over silent resentment

Clear communication isn’t confrontational — it’s respectful.

Standard: Respect first. Always.

Ok, lets be real…as wives, mothers, significant others the reality is there isn’t a lot of time left over for us to take care of ourselves. I don’t know how many of you look forward to a quiet bath or shower only to have a little one bypass your husband to interrupt your alone time asking for help. All of us are at different stages in our lives whether with our living situations or our emotional capacity. Some of these posts might have to be bookmarked for a later date, while other posts are hitting spot on what you need to hear now. Self-love and self-care are key components of self-discovery, as they lay the foundation for healthy relationships with others.
