“I married someone who makes me bigger, not smaller, and I almost can't believe it.”

After years of folding yourself to fit, you found a person who expands when you do. That is the whole tenet made flesh: building with, not under. Don't shrink out of habit now that there's room. Honor what you have by becoming fully yourself inside it.

Your Practice

  1. Name one way you still shrink out of old reflex, even though they don't ask you to.
  2. Say one ambition out loud to them this week that you used to keep small.
  3. Ask what they're reaching for, and put your weight behind it the way they do yours.
  4. Build something together that neither of you would dare alone.
