A STARTING POINT
Revisit One Marriage Agreement
An agreement that once worked may no longer fit work, health, caregiving, or personal priorities. Choose one everyday arrangement, such as evening tasks or time to rest. The goal is to understand what has changed and consider a new agreement, not to decide who is the better partner.
