Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• We’re both trying so hard and somehow both ending up feeling unloved, and I’m starting to think we’re each pouring love in the exact form we’d want to get it back
• I tell myself every morning I’ll go easy on the apps today, and every night I’ve blown right past it again
• I actually need this app for its real purpose, but the endless feed and the autoplay and the little red badges suck me into a black hole every time I open it
• I open the same feed without even deciding to, and an hour’s gone before I notice
• Our check-ins have shrunk to "how was your day" / "fine" and nothing real ever opens up

5. The Five Love Languages, Honestly
   Gary Chapman’s framework says people give and receive love primarily through five channels — words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch — and friction often comes from partners speaking different ones. It is a useful conversation-starter, but be honest: the specific five-category model has limited empirical support. The durable insight is that partners should learn and act on what actually makes the other feel loved.
6. Ask open-ended map-building questions
   Replace generic check-ins with questions that open a window into your partner's inner life.
