What do people mean when they say you have to work on your marriage?

What should you tolerate, and where should you be flexible?

There is no one-size-fits-all rule, but there are some common patterns in what it means—and doesn’t mean—to work on your relationship.

Let’s dive into that and break it down:

✅ Communicating openly and honestly
❌ Keeping feelings bottled up to not bother

✅ Supporting each other’s goals and dreams
❌ Sacrificing your own well-being just to be with that person

✅ Working through conflicts together (and taking ownership)
❌ Avoiding tough conversations

✅ Showing appreciation and gratitude regularly
❌ Feeling that taking each other for granted is their new reality

✅ Managing your time better to spend more time with your partner.
❌ Trying to prioritize your partner while mentally checking out.
