Anniversary Wisdom

6 yrs together, 2 of em married, and I still have a crush on my husband!! Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way.

Things I’ve Learned After 6 Year of Partnership 

1. Do The Work

Have the tough, heavy conversations, make the necessary adjustments, and the sooner the better! Love grows and blossoms where there is openness, vulnerability and acceptance. You either face things and grow or eventually fall apart. It is exhilarating to be accepted and cheered on when someone has seen “your worst” and it’s thrilling to tap into your capacity to do the same in return. Not a lot of high’s match the one right after you’ve weathered a storm with your partner and come out stronger.

2. Ask more questions

My husband and I have our own very different hobbies. I won’t take up golf or gaming anytime soon and he’s not scrambling to sign up to another wellness retreat or dance class but it’s so important to draw each other into our respective worlds from time to time. It’s important to ask questions, and share, not just to stay connected but to offer/receive that nourishment of feeling seen and witnessed. It takes effort and constant tending but it’s so beautifully bonding and I sense if we keep it up we’ll never stop learning new things about ourselves and each other.

3. Gratitude All Day E’re Day

Nothing makes you feel richer/more resourced and more blessed than looking around your life and taking stock of all the good in it. Gratitude is contagious and the more you express,  the more it magnifies. I’m grateful for my partner, our life and our relationship and express it often, ajo, ase!
