Rebuilding Love, One Brick at a Time

"Just give up,"

I almost said while surrounded by Lego pieces with my daughter.

She wanted help, but this wasn’t really about Legos. It was about learning when not to give up.

She wanted me to step in. Instead, I said, "You got this. Try again." She shook her head with a stubborn "no." I could’ve taken over, but that wasn’t the lesson.

Giving up at the first “no” teaches nothing, in Legos or life.

After some back and forth, she did it on her own. Her grin afterward? Priceless.

Now, what’s this got to do with your marriage on the edge?

It’s simple, patience and persistence. Like my daughter with Legos, sometimes a little encouragement can break through silence and distance.

But here’s the hard truth:

If you give up too soon, the consequences don’t stay small.

• When silence lingers, it turns into resentment.

• When resentment grows, it becomes emotional walls.

• When those walls stay up, trust fades entirely.

Suddenly, she’s not just distant—she’s questioning if there’s even anything left to save.

But when you stick with quiet, steady actions, this happens:

• She starts to notice, not all at once, but piece by piece.

• Trust begins to rebuild, and her guard starts coming down.

• She begins to feel safe enough to question her own doubts.

You’ve tried talking, romantic gestures, even listening. Nothing works.

You might think it’s over because she’s cold or distant.

But like Legos, your marriage can be rebuilt, piece by piece, with the right approach.

Sometimes, it takes guidance and another try.

Imagine a marriage where every effort pulls her closer instead of pushing her further away.

Let’s figure out the pieces together and start putting them back where they belong.

Until next time,
