Wanting to grow as a spouse.

Not assuming:
“This is just who I am.”
“Take it or leave it.”

But staying open to learning how to love your partner better over time.

Asking things like:
“How am I doing as a husband / wife?”
“Is there something that would help you feel more loved, supported, or understood?”
“What can I do better?”

Not because you are failing.
Not because the relationship is broken.

But because healthy relationships are built by two people who continue trying to learn each other more deeply over time.

And because caring about the relationship also means caring about the impact you have on the person you love.
