Ways we stay strong ❤️

Подробнее о видео

1. We tell everyone we probably would have gotten divorced year 1 if it wasn’t for our shared belief in God and His covenant of marriage. So #1 👉 OUR FAITH. ☦️

2. Next, we joined finances immediately. No separate accounts, no secret expenses, and no easy ways out 👉 Joint accounts. 💰

3. We learned to treat conflict as an opportunity to grow closer, rather than as something fatal. Something that helps us do that: remembering how this ends, with us together 👉 Constructive arguments. 🤝

4. We came into our relationship with big goals and dreams, and it’s important not to forget those within a relationship but be encouraged in them 👉 Encouraging one another’s dreams. 💪

5. Laugh off the little things. Not everything has to be that serious 👉 LAUGH, a lot. 😂

6. Going out and doing things. Something about the contrast reminds you that you are one another’s safe place 👉 Get out of the house. 🥰🏡

7. Having married friends and groups. Sharing your irks with other God-honoring couples reminds you that you’re not alone and many loving couples overcome similar struggles daily 👉 Support. ❤️

8. Sometimes you will go to bed still angry, and that’s okay. Maybe you aren’t ready to talk yet, but at least touch toes in bed 👉 The toe touch. 😂

9. Building a family has been such a blessing for us. Loving a little human who’s half him and half me is the most beautiful (and maritally solidifying) things. 👉 Have babies. 🐣

10. Continue to pursue God and pursue the other every day 👉 Continual growth and intimacy. ❤️
