Cheers to 23 years with my best friend ❤️🔥 6 important lessons I’ve learned… ⤵️
💕God first, above all else. We’ve been through some difficult times, and it was God’s guidance that got us through it (& also our individual stubbornness) 😅 We also stress that with our children (& that’s a work in progress).
💕Communication is *SO IMPORTANT*! Some of the biggest fights we’ve gotten into were because we were not discussing important things & assumed what the other was thinking. You know what happens when you assume… IYKYK
💕Be willing to apologize. It’s not always about who’s right. It’s about your relationship which is such a gift.
💕Date your partner. This is not always easy depending on the season of life you’re in but try your best! I’m also always working on getting regular date nights.
💕This isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon. There are seasons of highs and lows. The most important thing is to remember that you’re in it for the long haul, in the good and the bad. Sickness & health.
💕Your life partner is not your business partner (most of the time). In the past, I would ask him opinions about my business and then get frustrated with his answers. I can always ask for his support, and he’s the best at that.
What would you add?
