To celebrate 12 years together, I want to share what I've learned about being in a long-term loving relationship.
This August, the hubby and I will be celebrating 12 years together (between dating and being married). This year by far has been the best year of marriage and time together for me. I feel like we are starting to problem solve together better, have less conflict and enjoy each other even more.
The past 12 years have flown by and I can vividly remember the first piece of jewelry he ever gave me and the promise that came along with it.
It was our 4th year dating anniversary when he presented me with a promise ring from Michael Hill. It had a pink topaz and was the prettiest piece of jewelry I owned. Sadly, I ended up losing it a few months later but the thought and sentiment behind the ring remained.
When presented the opportunity to work with Michael Hill for this anniversary post, I knew I had to say yes. I chose hoop earrings and a circle pendant because of its symbolism for eternal love.
If you always try to be right, everybody loses. In the end, what matters is the outcome of your compromise not who was wrong or right in the process of solving or causing it. If you can let the "must win" mentality go, you'll both be winners.
Show your love on a daily basis. Whether it be by packing his lunch for him or bringing her flowers for no reason, be consistent with showing your love through little actions.
Acknowledge strengths and don't magnify weaknesses. Never tear your partner down by reminding them of their faults, rather consistently build on their positive attributes and remind them why you're grateful for them.
Conflict is healthy if you can come to a resolution. Rather than having the same fights over and over again, have a conversation about what's causing you to fight and come up with concrete solutions that each partner can contribute to the problem. Hold each other accountable for upholding your contributions.
Make them a priority. No matter where you are with your walk in marriage, your partner should always be at the top.
Spend quality time together. Even if you have to plan it in advance, make the effort to enjoy one another. Whether it be at home or going out for a date, never let the spark go dull.
