Christy :
We waited to get married until we had been through tough times and both of us were 100% ready. We’ve been together 7 years today. Getting married next weekend. We’ve been through job changes, loss of pets, death of family members, health problems (ourselves and family) money problems, long distance, moving, and grad school. From day one we made a rule that we would communicate the moment things got tough. We have hard conversations and we both believe that love is something you do, not just a feeling you have. 🩷

We’ve been together since we were 17, we are now 33, with a toddler and a baby due any day. All that to say, we’ve let our relationship go on autopilot a few times but we have always made the choice to come back from that. There are times you absolutely have to choose to love your spouse. Every two weeks we have a relationship check in. After our daughter goes to bed we sit and talk about the previous two weeks. We have a few main things we talk about or ask. 1. What is something I did that annoyed you? 2. What is something you’d like to see less of? 3. What is something you’d like to see more of. 4. We give each other an affirmation. During this conversation we put our phones in another room, the only technology we have is the baby monitor. This is something we’ve been doing for years. There are times where things are great, but when things aren’t great it’s how we get back to each other.

my husband and I went through a small rough patch where we had let this happen. we learned that talking through all the little issues before they became big (even if they felt stupid to bring up) was a game changer. we have date night once a week that is priority. even if that date night is sitting in bed watching a show because we are exhausted, its dedicated time.

we dated for a long time. weve been through loss, sickness, financial woes and figured out how to deal with it as a team. we figured out how to face adversity in a healthy way while dating so we know how to do it now as a married couple.

I feel like such an outcast being divorced.like I didn’t do better or make it work. But he truly hated me by the end, and was cruel and absent and abusive emotionally and financially- I felt like nothing. No value. I wish society wouldn’t shun divorced women but it does. We already feel devalued by someone that was supposed to be with you forever, vowed to.

there’s a lot of things my fiancé and i make an effort to do to prioritize and strengthen our relationship, but one of my favorites is that on the last weekend of every month, we do a “check-in” where we each share 1 thing the other person did in the past month that made us feel loved, 1 thing the other person did in the past month that we did not like, and 1 thing we want the other person to improve on or do more of in the coming month. it’s so great to have a nonconfrontational way to have these important conversations and it always makes us feel closer

You’re absolutely correct. My husband and I were married just short as 60 years when he died in an accident. We were just as much in love at the end as we were at the beginning we made a point to play together laugh together talk together and listen to each other we supported each other and everything we did. Whenever one of us came home the other was always there to greet us. When we disagreed, we never yelled, used profanity, blamed each other, or raised our voices. Sometimes we had to walk away, but we always came back to talk and to listen.

I’m old married 40 years now. What kept us married was an interview I heard with George Burns. When asked what his secret was to his long marriage to Gracie Allen. His answer was (I’m paraphrasing as I heard this in the 80s) We never fell out of love at the same time. One of us was always willing to fight for it. I can honestly say that’s how it’s been for my husband and I.

We work together. Go to bed together. Were a full on team. And when we fight we always talk about how to work on the root of the issue moving forward.

Once you stop working on the marriage, it collapses. Never stop working on it and as soon as you lose connection, make sure you get it back

I remember hearing the song "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" in high school, and I thought that was crazy. Love will always be enough. . . Boy was I wrong 😅 Also, as someone who is on my 2nd marriage (husband's 1st), I honestly needed to hear this today. My husband and I talk and never fight, we were friends first. However I've had so much going on with work, health issues, and editing 4 novels, I think I need to make sure I'm making time for him too!

At this point, I think genuine chemistry is rarer than good Wi-Fi. 😂

How do you come together to figure out what sets you apart from other couples, in which their relationship has failed - when you don’t know what other couples are doing together or ignoring, that caused them to split up in the first place? 🤔
