I am right on your tail as we will be celebrating out 20th anniversary in Sept.. I agree with all you said and after 20 years Humor is a must! LOL

It is easy to pick and see all the faults in each other, but that just tears the union down. Reinforcing the good and growing and evolving together is what it is all about.

It is hard work, it is challenging work..and it will change your life and the lives of your children in so many positive ways! I encourage you!
And…just as a “sneak peak”…please do look forward to August in this space. :) I won’t say any more right now :) /
Blessings,

I’m humbled by this. And…sigh, reminded that my own marriage needs some serious work. I’m a big “inner work” person; my husband is not. Soo, I think the step for us is to get some professional support to help us be the best we can be together. Making the call is on me to do, and I haven’t done it. For someone who loves the unknown, loves change, and doing the work, I find it odd that I am avoiding making a call to improve my marriage.

We will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year at our house.
Two things that I would add, that are very important for us is that we are each others best friends as well as partners in a marriage and parents.
Besides respect the other thing that we give each other is the space and freedom to be by ourselves, have our own hobbies, can develop ourselves etc. and know that our partner will understand us and will be supportive of us.

Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!
Blessings,
Maggie

Thank you!
