This purported increase is driven by inflation, costly repairs, and more weather-related claims, with the average premium expected to reach $2,469 by year-end.

To mitigate costs, drivers are encouraged to regularly shop for insurance and explore discounts.

Maybe you've noticed it. She's on her phone a lot.

Scrolling through social media, checking out everyone else’s “perfect” life.

And next thing you know, it’s like your marriage is under a microscope.

Suddenly, you’re being compared to other people’s highlight reels.

Those perfectly curated moments that make it look like nobody else has a problem in the world.

The truth: No one’s posting the real stuff.

No one’s sharing the arguments, the stress, or the mess.

It’s all sunshine and smiles, and it’s not the whole story.

But it’s easy for her to get caught up in that.

It’s tough because it makes everything at home feel not good enough.

Like somehow you’re not stacking up.

But remember, the value is in what’s real.

Talk to her about it, without pointing fingers.

Let her know that what you two have is real.

Is there always room for improvement? Sure.

And, social media tells a story, not the whole story.

Your marriage is real life and it’s worth way more than some contrived picture-perfect post.
