Coming up on 34 years. I can’t believe we made it to the ‘empty nesters’ stage. Our kids are doing great and we’re loving the house to ourselves! 💕😊
Will be 15 years soon. Hard to believe it goes by so fast!
Will be 25 years married this year
It's been 9 years for us. Almost in the double digits 🥰
16 for us!
13
But we didn’t have kids for the first 10
Great. She was considerably younger so I ended up waiting until she wanted to start having kids. The situation is also quite stable because we bought a house several years ago for not a lot of money and it is big enough for our family to grow into.
We just hit 6 years last month it’s been crazy how fast it has gone. For those of you that have been married 20+ years do you have any advice for us newbies?
Now, I’m not saying we always did this (at all) and there were years when you’d think we weren’t even friends, as we were in our own world working and kids activities, etc. These ideas are some basic things we grew to be in sync within the past 5-7 yrs. Our marriage has never been better after almost 34 yrs🤞🏼
These are things I’d remind my younger self.
-Remember what drew you to each other, esp in times of stress when coping skills aren’t the best and flexibility goes out the door.
-Thank your spouse for helping out. Boy oh boy what a difference it makes. Small gestures go far.
-Be flexible when you’re able to.
-Give space and make space. Show up when it counts!
-Make sure you are taking care of yourself, esp when things get tough.
-Do not take score!
-Let your partner know what’s going on with you in a non emotional manner 😬 and if you don’t know what’s going on, communicate that.
-Take ownership for your part.
Be partners in disciplining the kids and talk privately if you don’t agree w your spouse on something.
-Be friends and play whenever you can while respecting each others space.
Marriage for us has definitely been some kinda roller coaster ride, that’s for sure.
