13 years - and counting
13 years, 4 married… and its always been the little things that show me you still care and always have.
It’s the crying in the bathroom floor with me as I lost our babies… It’s the way you smiled and hugged me when I told you we were having twins… it’s the way you let me care for you when your mom passed, the way you put us over your addiction.
It’s the coke, candy, and rocks that you bring home from work for me just to see me smile. It’s the 45-80 hour work weeks, getting up at night with the twins, and still smiling at me when I am a horrible hot mess.
It’s every single fight, gift, and word for the last 13 years… I would not trade it for anything… from the big things to the little things my love… for you, for them, for us… it will just always be the little things you do.
In relationships, the strength often lies in the small gestures of love and support that partners provide each other during tough times. Over 13 years together, navigating life's challenges including family losses and the joy of raising twins, it's evident that every act of kindness contributes to the fabric of a strong marriage. Simple acts like bringing home treats, sharing quiet moments, and providing emotional support can create memories that bond couples together. In the context of marriage, the highs and lows become shared experiences that deepen connections. Celebrating anniversaries can encourage couples to reflect on their journey, highlighting not just the milestones but the everyday moments that create lasting impressions. The emotional aspects of a relationship, such as shared grief or joy, shape the narrative of love—reminding couples that love is multifaceted and requires continuous nurturing. Recognizing these elements fosters an appreciation for the dedication and unconditional support partners offer each other, reinforcing the idea that love grows richer with time spent together.
