If you recently found out and want your marriage to work, you do not have to explain everything to belong here. If you’d like to say hello, choose one: • A first name or nickname you are comfortable using. • What would help you most today: space to think, clearer questions, words for your needs, or support. • One small thing you want to make room for today. For example: “You can call me M. I want to give my marriage a chance, but I’m having trouble knowing what to ask for. I’m starting with the workbook.” A simple hello is enough. Reading quietly is welcome too. When replying, listen without pushing someone to forgive, commit, or make a decision. Ask before offering advice. Let each person choose how much to share.
