We reflected on who we thought we’d be in marriage, who we’v...

We’re back, and we’re diving into a conversation that every couple—and honestly, every person—needs to think about.

Why is it so hard to answer the question: What do you need from me right now? Why do we struggle to name what we need, even with the people closest to us? And how can we learn to ask for support in a way that strengthens, not strains, our relationships?
