I keep things balanced by forgetting to balance them—works every time. Communication? Oh, I just nod and say “sure” until they forget what they were mad about. Seriously though, I listen more than I talk, and when I do talk, I avoid “you always” like it’s a landmine. We schedule “no screens” time, which mostly means staring at each other awkwardly until one of us cracks a joke. Marriage isn’t 50/50—it’s 100/100, or at least that’s what I tell myself while doing dishes. You’re welcome.
