Newsletter Companion with this week Wake the Silence #4 — The Clothes We Wear for Love

Love doesn’t fade in a single storm.
It slips away in the smallest moments —
when we stop noticing how we show up for each other.
A hoodie worn every night.
A perfume bottle gathering dust.
A glance that no longer lingers.
Today, I published this week’s Wake the Silence newsletter with the full section: Clothes, Appearance & Self-Care — part of the Family Questionnaire series.
It’s not about vanity.
It’s about presence, desire, respect, and connection.
Here are three of this week’s reflection prompts:
What attracts you — and what quietly pushes you away?
How important are hairdresser visits, skincare routines, or treatments in our relationship?
How do we talk about untidy clothes or an unpleasant odor without hurting each other?
These may seem like small questions, but they shape whether love feels alive or stagnant day to day.
💌 Want the full Appearance, Clothes & Self-Care section — with 20+ thoughtful prompts?
