Paul C. Brunson

True.

It's just these little things this person does that makes you feel seen and appreciated.

What does it cost to just in the morning when you leave, like, hey, I married the prettiest girl in the world.

Can't wait to see you tonight on the couch when I get home.

What does that take?

Three seconds?

It's free?

Who wouldn't want to get that note?

Who wouldn't want to get a note in their briefcase that says, you know, you're the handsomest guy I know.

You know, thanks for this weekend.

It was so fun.

Yes.

Like, who wouldn't get that and go, I want to meet that with the same kind of energy?

And by the way, if you do that consistently...

and your partner still doesn't show up for you, now we might need to have a conversation that, OK, this thing might be irreparably broken.

Because I agree, both people have to be invested in this.

And sometimes people just are in different places, and one of you is not going to get back where you need to be.

But I think most people want to try and do their part.

But that's not what we do.

What we do instead is, you have failed me.
