Your Question:

How do I explain this to my spouse when they ask what we're going to do?

Answer:

When explaining this to your spouse, I'd say something like, "Honey, I think we need to talk about how we're communicating with each other. I feel like we're getting into a pattern where we're not really listening to each other's needs and concerns. I want us to make a conscious effort to understand each other's perspectives and work together to find solutions."

I'd also say that I feel like we're getting a little too comfortable with not talking about certain issues, and that's creating a distance between us. I want us to be able to have open and honest conversations about everything, even the tough stuff. I think it's going to take some effort from both of us to make this happen, but I'm willing to put in the work if you are.

As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with this exact issue. It's not about being perfect, it's about being willing to work through our differences and communicate with each other in a way that honors God. I want our marriage to be a source of joy and strength for both of us, not a source of stress and conflict. Let's make a commitment to each other to do better and to support each other in our weaknesses.
