Sometimes we expect one big conversation to repair everything that has worn down. Relationships, however, are built daily: in how we listen, respond, ask for space and return after tension.

A small change might mean not responding defensively straight away, stating a need clearly or asking before assuming what the other person meant.

This does not mean small actions solve serious problems. It means everyday behaviour is the ground on which the bigger conversations take place.

If you could change only one repeated moment in your relationship this week, which one would it be?
