As I reflect on this milestone, I find myself grateful for the insights gained, the laughter shared, and the countless memories etched into our hearts. Here's a glimpse into the lessons I've learned during these remarkable years.

On this Episode my husband joins me and it's a lot of fun!
I'm Not Always Right
Admitting that I'm not always right has been liberating. Sometimes, it's more valuable to prioritize harmony and shared victories than to insist on being right.
Communication is Key
Clear and open communication is the foundation of a strong partnership. Sharing thoughts, feelings, and even fears fosters understanding and unity.
Love Languages are Real
Discovering our love languages has deepened our connection. Recognizing and speaking each other's love languages—mine being words of affirmation and acts of service, and my husband's being physical touch and words of affirmation—has brought us closer.
Falling in Love Over and Over Again
Love evolves, and each phase has been a privilege to witness. From becoming husband and wife to embracing parenthood and becoming a part of each other's families, I continue to fall in love with my husband in new and beautiful ways.
Marriage is Really Hard
There's no sugarcoating it—marriage can be tough. Yet, it's in those challenges that we learn, grow, and find the resilience to emerge stronger together.
Marriage Changes After Having Children
Welcoming children into our lives reshaped our marriage. Navigating parenthood as a team has shown us the power of unity and shared responsibilities. It has also reminded me that we are setting an example, even in small ways.
Setting Boundaries for a Strong Relationship
Boundaries ensure that we preserve the sacred space of our relationship. We've learned that discussing important matters before 9 pm, whenever possible, keeps communication effective and focused.
Embrace Goofiness
Playfulness is an anchor in our relationship. Being goofy together keeps the spark alive and reminds us to enjoy life's lighthearted moments.
My Husband Can't Be My Everything
Recognizing that my husband can't fulfill every need has been liberating. Our relationship is strong because we embrace our individuality and support each other's growth.
Never-Ending Learning I'm continually learning from my husband. His patience, kindness, and gentleness have inspired me to become a better person.
As we look back on these lessons, it's clear that love is a choice—a daily decision to nurture and cherish each other. While the initial excitement may evolve, it's more than okay—it's an opportunity to rekindle the fire that burns within us. The commitment we've made to each other remains unwavering, and trust and respect continue to be the cornerstones of our relationship.
In celebrating a decade of marriage, we honor the journey we've undertaken. It's a journey of growth, of overcoming challenges, and of building a life together. As we continue forward, I'm excited to embrace the lessons of the past and look forward to the future with a heart full of gratitude and love.
