Just like your phone, your marriage needs regular updates

Just like phones, marriages need regular updates.

Have you ever ignored your phone’s software updates until things started glitching? Turns out, marriage works the same way.

At first, everything runs smoothly. But over time, little issues pop up—miscommunications, mismatched expectations, moments of disconnection, and hurt feelings. You can ignore them, hoping they’ll fix themselves, or you can take a proactive approach.

Our lives and bodies are always shifting and changing, and relationships need regular updates to keep up. That might mean learning new ways to communicate, repairing small cracks before they become breaks, or evolving together instead of running on outdated software.

Just like a phone, a marriage won’t work well on its original system forever. The best relationships update often—through honest conversations, new shared experiences, and regular check-ins to see what’s working and what needs attention.

Perhaps take a moment and reflect on what part of your relationship could use an update?
