10 Years of Marriage | What we Have Learned

Published: Aug. 24, 2021, 10 a.m.

We just hit our ten year anniversary and want to share some of the wisdom we\u2019ve gained after this time together. Getting married and establishing this bond between us has helped us in our success and it\u2019s as if a divine help has been put over our lives to guide and direct us. \u201cYou marry the person you want to grow with, not the perfect person.\u201d 12:39 Not keeping score in your marriage, or keeping track of who has done and deserves what for doing so much, is a very important part of having a successful and happy marriage. A quote from Adam\u2019s grandpa after 60 years of marriage, \u2018At some stage the lust will disappear. Those feelings and those desires will disappear, and that\u2019s when the friendship is the most important thing.\u2019 16:46

\u201cWhen you sign a mortgage, you\u2019re all in at the bank. When you rent a house and you decide, if you decide, \u2018You know what, I don\u2019t like here. I wanna move somewhere else.\u2019 you can move house. There is that moment and I definitely noticed. I remember my wedding day, I remember I just couldn\u2019t stop smiling all day, but I had this emotion and then even the day after I still had it. There is a difference between being married or not and there's something you can\u2019t explain.\u201d 8:26
