Everything we start, we start with halting, falling, and lurching. It’s easy, during our baby-step phase, to be distracted by what we did before:, our old thinking, what felt more comfortable. We won’t grow, however, or get to a new place without starting poorly.
It’s a baby step.
When you show up in your marriage with a clear intention to be interested in the other.
It’s a baby step.
When you come with a whole-hearted attention for this one thing at this one moment (which sounds so easy and which is so difficult).
When you’re able to do that over time, and sustain that effort with an easy focus (not a straining one), this allows you to be at ease and enjoy one another.
That is a giant leap for your marriage.
