day 6: conflict
we argued last night and it made me feel hurt. you felt hurt by me also and said words that stung deeper than you knew…you called me disrespectful. you had planned a “date” for us to go to your work for a guitar clinic and i jokingly said “thats not a date, that’s your thing!” and it hurt your feelings, making you feel that i am never satisfied by you. later...

day 1 : apologizing
last night we went to marriage counseling for the first time. we had a good session and you seemed hopeful for us. then we got home…and fought. we ended the night early, me going upstairs to our room and you sleeping downstairs in the guest room where you have slept for the last 4 weeks. i have vowed to renew our covenant with a year of loving you intentionally, on purpose, mindfully and as...
