My husband helps me put my small successes in context by reminding me that I was unable to do that thing a year or two ago. It's massively important to celebrate steps forward.

Your comment about building a relationship is so spot on in my experience. My partner and I have grown as a team to take better care of each other and become better people over the course of nine years. I'm a very different person from who I was when we first met.

You're his service human!
