Best Marriage Advice EVER.🙏🥰
1. Choose to love each other, even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.
2. Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling. When possible, try to keep your phone off when you're together with your spouse.
3. Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the "currency of relationships," so consistently invest time into your marriage.
4. Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage. Remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.
5. Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy. And even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.
6. In every argument, remember that there won't be a "winner" and a "loser." You're partners in everything so you'll either win together or lose together. Work together to find a solution.
7. Realize that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It's usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak.
8. Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It takes more than s*x to build a strong marriage, but it's nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it.
9. Remember that marriage isn't 50/50— is 50/50. Marriage has to be 100/100. It's not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they've got.
10. Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you've given your best to everyone else.
11. Learn from other people, but don't feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to anyone else's. God's plan for your life is masterfully unique.
12. Don't put your marriage on hold while you're raising your kids or else you'll end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.
13. Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.
14. Never lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.
15. When you've made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be quick to say, "I was wrong. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
16. When your husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly. This will promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You should be quick to say, "I love you. I forgive you. Let's move forward."
17. Be patient with each other. Your spouse is always more important than your schedule.
18. Model the kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good husbands, and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.
19. Be your spouse's biggest encourager, not his/her biggest critic. Be the one who wipes away their tears, not the one who causes them.
20. Never talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect your spouse at all times and in all places.
21. Always wear your wedding ring. It will remind you that you're always connected to your spouse and will remind the rest of the world that you're off-limits.
22. When you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, say nothing every time.
23. Don't threaten divorce when things get tough. Remember that a "perfect marriage" is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.
Genesis 2:24 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

Read this from Rebecca Cooper and it’s too powerful not to share:
‘You woke up this morning, and surprise - you’re still you. There was no magic switch that flipped when the sun came up, no glittering, glamorous witchcraft that turned you into something else.

You woke up and you were still you, and you took a tired breath and looked around. Your bedroom is still the same, your heart is still the same, and your hurts still feel the same. You’re still stuck.

You woke up and you were still you, but you’ve forgotten that you’re pretty great.

You’ve forgotten that you’ve **been** working on you all along. You’ve forgotten that you’ve been cultivating and plowing and growing and watering yourself for years now.

You’ve forgotten that all you need to do is get up. You have forgotten that you are sitting in the driver’s seat, that you only get this one precious life, and that you don’t need anyone else’s permission -

to shine.
to chase.
to wonder.

All you need to do is get up, and all you need to do is stand on those two feet, and all you need to do is take a step forward.

Put your hand over your chest and feel the

thump
thump
thump

and remember: you are here for a reason.

You are here for a REASON.

So get up. And keep getting up.

Every single day.

Stop hitting snooze. Stop fighting your whispers. Stop do***ng on yourself. Stop listening to the haters, the small thinkers, and the road blockers.

And get up.

You’ve got some work to do.’

When we say ‘old souls’ we mean it in the best possible way. These two are definitely ‘old souls’ in their incredibly apparent, authentic love for each other.
We’ve hosted hundreds of weddings but their dance at the end of the night, just the 2 of them, literally had us choking back tears. Pure joy.

“Love is the thing that is always having the last word—even when those words are ‘I’m sorry,’ or ‘Forgive me,’ or ‘I love you no matter what.’” — Cleo Wade
