We Sleep in the Same Bed and I've Never Felt More Invisible - a story about loneliness in marriage

When a marriage goes quiet and you feel alone beside the person you love, the instinct is to wait for the other person to change first. But the smallest shift in who you are — how present you choose to be, even for five minutes — is where real connection has a chance to grow again.

“A great revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of all humankind.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The Human Revolution
