Navigating the ups and downs of marriage can be a bit like trying to find your way in a corn maze while blindfolded. We’ve all been there, right? In this deep dive, we chat about the often-overlooked importance of celebrating the little victories in our relationships. After 34 years of marriage, we’ve learned that progress doesn’t always slap you in the face with fireworks and confetti.
