Bible Verses to Reflect On:
📖 Proverbs 14:1 – “A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.”
 📖 Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
 📖 Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”

Action Step:
This week, instead of saying, “We need to talk,” try saying, “I really appreciate when you [insert something positive]. It makes me feel closer to you.” Small changes in communication can lead to big shifts in connection.
