Half a decade until forever!
It’s the vows for me!
In our 5 years of marriage, we’ve experienced so many moments of love, along with so many lessons. We’ve lived out our vows by loving each other through sickness and health. When we first got married, George learned that he had a giant cell tumor growing in his spine, so year 1, during our newlywed season, we spent it primarily in different hospitals with him having to endure countless scans, tests and surgeries. Over the years, he’s loved and supported me through many health challenges like severe vertigo, high anxiety, and recently, a miscarriage.
We’ve supported each other in our ambitions. We’ve both launched podcast, hosted events, started businesses, coached clients, and become thought leaders in our industries.
From Jamaica, St.Lucia, to Aruba & Mexico, we’ve traveled to so many amazing destinations and had a blast experiencing new adventures together.
Over the years, he has worked my nerves and I have worked his. Through it all, I know that I was called to be his wife, and I know that we were destined to leave a legacy & make an impact on this world together.
At year 5, I’m well aware that we are just getting started, but I’m already looking forward to how lit the next 50+ years together will be forever, for always.
Lessons Learn(ing) from our first 5 years being Married
-
Prioritize your marriage above everything.
-
Proximity does not equal priority. Just because you’re around each other, doesn’t mean your catering to each other’s needs. Make sure you’re Intentional, it won’t just happen because y’all live together.
-
Don’t suppress, address! Being passive or non confrontational solves nothing. Everything will show up eventually. Talk about it NOW. We have a 24 hour rule that things must be addressed within that time frame.
-
Be on one accord, but give space for individuality and personal identity. You need to be whole. You need to be happy, no one can do that for you. Forcing someone to be who you want them to be will cause resentment. Allow your spouse to be themselves.
-
Don’t get too busy for sex. If you prioritize the marriage, this shouldn’t be a problem. But when everything and everyone else gets all of you, you have nothing left for your spouse. Sex gets out on the back burner and you can easily end up being life partners instead of intimate lovers.
