I'm not afraid to admit it - as a married woman, relationship-care and self-care are congruently interconnected. Relationship-care is also self-care, yet why is this statement so combative? That's a personal question to ask and unpack yourself. Putting effort into and towards my marriage ultimately makes me *feel good*, as it should!
