My Husband wasn’t in a great mood, and instead of focusing on that or reacting negatively, I chose to tell him something I genuinely appreciated about him. I wanted to remind him of his value, not just reflect the weight of that moment. The simple choice began to shift the tone between us- his mood softened, and the tension eased.
We were able to communicate more openly and calmly, without defensiveness or distance. What could have turned into disconnection became a moment of renewed understanding. All of this was thanks to the example Mother set-teaching me, through her own words and actions, how to speak life in tense moments. Her wisdom helped me chose kindness over conflict, and that made all the difference.
