It’s worked for us for over 15 years!

Our marriage has been filled with highs (we purchased our home, adopted fur babies, launched a business and nonprofit organization, and travelled to some of the world’s most romantic destinations) and lows (we were both diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2012), but I’m proud to say that we’re still happily married 15 years after our wedding day. How did we get here? We’ve followed some of the best marriage advice (…ever) from happily married couples in our circle of family, parents, grandparents, and friends. Here’s some of the advice that helped us along the way:

1.  Communicate consistently.
2. Practice patience and understanding.
3. Support each other’s passions, dreams, and goals.
4. Acknowledge each other’s individuality.
5. Forgive one another.
6. Know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and respect them. 
7. Establish roles when it comes to household finances, parenting, chores, business and anything in between.
8. Challenge each other.
9. Have a sense of humor. This one is a must!
10. Don’t forget to date!
