Sometimes the life of others can trick the mind into thinking you are missing something in your relationship. You start placing unrealistic expectations on each other because you believe these are the actions or things you should receive.

Morning Routines of Successful Marriages
Although I hate the idea of something being routine (routine meaning doing the same thing every day.) due to losing track of time and you look up and it’s 5 years later. This is every day on repeat without incorporating new things to improve that routine. In our minds, it works which is why it is a routine that you stick with until it doesn’t serve you anymore.

Bedroom Must-Haves for Couples
Our bedrooms should always be a sacred space to rest our worries and create magic with our partners. Too many times we use our bedroom to catch up on work, to do laundry, to have a quick snack or a meal in front of the tv in the bed, or as storage. We must take back our rooms and create that space that sparks the fireworks.
