Let's be honest: Most people don't talk honestly about what healthy relationships actually require. They talk about "being nice." About "giving people grace." About "not being too picky."

You try to help him be better. And instead of him rising to meet you? He shuts down. He withdraws. He pulls away. Sound familiar?
