Thank you so much Annemarie! x

Hi! I think because we are all flawed human beings, marriage is going to be hard in one way or another because it teaches us so much about ourselves. It challenges you to overcome things that you perhaps would never face when you aren’t facing life joined with someone else. I have found it more life giving than anything though. When you experience life with someone who loves you so deeply no matter what, there is so much happiness and fulfillment. Being able to share the best (and even hardest) parts of life with Gabe has made it such a good life! If you are considering marriage, and dating, ask the hard questions. Make sure you are on the same page on all the most important things. Finances, family size, how you hope to raise your kids, how you react under stress, past relationships, etc. Those things all matter in big ways as your marriage unfolds. If those things align and can be addressed in the right way, it will make all the difference in the relationship. Respect, admiration, and friendship are great roots:)

Nancy- thank you! Just so grateful for grace, and the continued love of God to get us through even the hardest days! Thank you for reading:)
