No one tells you how many versions of your marriage you’ll live through.
The newlywed version.
The exhausted new-parent version.
The “ships passing in the night” version.
The “we’re both stressed but trying” version.
The one person is thriving and the other is struggling version.
And the version where you finally find each other again.
Priss and I have learned that long-term relationships aren’t straight steady lines. They’re seasons.
The trick we’ve learned isn’t avoiding the hard ones.
It’s finding ways, big and small, to prioritize each other.
The only marriages that survive decades are the ones where both people outgrow their illusions, not each other.
A few hard truths most couples avoid:
At some point, love becomes logistics. If you can handle bills, stress, ageing parents, health scares and bad days without turning into enemies, you’ve already won half the battle.
Rituals matter. Not the Instagram kind…the tiny, boring, consistent ones. Eating together. Checking in. Saying the difficult thing before it becomes poison.
Respect ages better than passion. Desire fluctuates…dignity doesn’t. If your partner can trust your tone even in conflict, the marriage will breathe.
Don’t chase perfection…chase awareness. Most marriages break not because people change, but because they stop noticing each other’s changes.
And finally learn to fight clean. The goal is to solve the problem, not win the argument.
Long marriages are not fairy tales.
They’re two people choosing maturity over impulse again and again even on the days they don’t feel like it.
Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism.
Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

He orders His Angels to protect you wherever you go
