Spouse and I are reading a book to refocus our marriage in 2024. I really struggled with the following question:
Would you lose anything important in your life if your partner were no longer your partner? Is what you’d lose something that makes you feel good about your partner for being able to provide it?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to lose my person. She fills roles that I don’t think others could ever fill. But I was a bit dumbfounded by the question. I ended up answering her thoughtfulness around the holidays. It’s part of what makes her, well her.
What unique qualities does you SO bring to the table that you admire and wouldn’t be able to replicate in another relationship?
