Summary
Every interaction is either a deposit or withdrawal from your partner's "love account". Meaning, every little remark you make or thing you say either deposits love and connection or it takes some away. The thing is, less "love deposits" are made for couples who are together a while or find themselves in busy seasons of life.
Most couples will go through seasons like these where they need to be making more deposits but they are actually making more withdrawals unconsciously. This isn't just a relational "nice idea" because the level of your love accounts determines how on edge, reactive, and snappy you are to each other. The hardest thing about having a low account is that you are much less willing to do the thing you need, to fill it back up…
