lessons i’ve learned from
{marriage} about life
it really does take two to tango.
compromise is hard, but it’s almost always worth it.
a warm hug can instantly change your outlook.
a heart can forgive more than it can forget,
but it can forget more than it can live without.
sharing is a necessary part of life.
no one likes being taken for granted.
it’s nice to be taken care of you when you’re sick.
true love is made up of millions of boring, everyday
moments: it is your job to see their magic.
history repeats itself. it also keeps you grounded.
being polite is very, very important.
love is a covenant based on hope.
holding hands by the fire beneath the moon
is the perfect way to spend an evening.
you can never have too many smiles.
sometimes you both win. sometimes no one wins.
it’s possible to grow in more than one direction.
diamonds might be a girl’s best friend,
but clean dishes are her soulmate.
it’s always a good time for flowers.
love actually will keep you together.
a look can say so much more than words.
in the middle of the night, the touch of a toe
can be just exactly all you need.

Every time I read one I went “oh that’s my favourite.” Once again you inspire with your “lessons learned…”
Happy anniversary.

If more romance novels, movies, videos and love songs spoke to the Truth you’ve highlighted here ~ more marriages would last into eternity. You’re so right, over time – the magic that exists is the magic you bring to it.
Happy Anniversary!
