Honestly, I’m still figuring it out—ask my wife, she’ll laugh. But here’s the backwards truth: I stopped trying to “fix” things and started just listening, even when I’m itching to solve. Turns out, balance isn’t 50-50—it’s 80-20 depending on the day, and that’s okay. We schedule “no agenda” chats, which sounds corporate but feels human. I used to think communication meant talking more; now I know it’s about shutting up at the right time. Marriage isn’t a ledger. Sometimes I’m the idiot, sometimes she is. We keep score only in inside jokes.
