Last night, my husband and I had a small disagreement. It wasn’t a huge argument, but the words we exchanged left me feeling unsettled and restless. Afterward, we went to bed without really resolving anything.As I lay there in the dark, I tried to calm my mind, but the thoughts kept swirling. Was I too harsh? Was he upset with me? The silence in the room felt heavy, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fall asleep. So, I just lay there with my eyes shut, pretending to be asleep, hoping that the quiet would eventually help me drift off.
A little while later, I heard the soft creak of the bedroom door. My husband had gotten up and left the room earlier, and now he was coming back to grab something. His footsteps were slow and careful, as if he didn’t want to disturb me.I stayed still, unsure whether to open my eyes or say anything. He moved around the room quietly, and then… he stopped. For a moment, there was only silence. Then I felt his presence close to the bed.
He leaned in just slightly, and in the softest whisper, almost like he was talking to himself, I heard him say, “I wish.”That simple phrase made my heart ache. I didn’t know exactly what he wished for — maybe for us to stop arguing, maybe for our relationship to feel light and easy again. In that moment, I realized how much he cared, even if we didn’t always express it perfectly. kept my eyes closed, but tears filled them. That one quiet sentence reminded me that beneath our disagreements, there was a deep love and a shared hope for a better tomorrow.
The next morning, I decided not to hold on to the tension from the night before. As soon as we woke up, I turned to him, hugged him tightly, and said, “Let’s start fresh today.”He looked surprised, then smiled with relief. “I’d like that,” he replied softly.In that instant, I understood his wish. It wasn’t about winning or losing arguments — it was about our bond, our family, and our future together.
