I've been married 15 years. Still married because we treat these like law:
• Bed is for sleep and sex only
• No phones in bedroom
• Kids asleep? We talk. 5 mins or 3 hours. Doesn't matter. We talk
• Pray together before sleep
• We eat every meal together
• No screens when eating
• And we never, and I mean NEVER criticize each other in public
Your marriage is your son's blueprint, and your daughter's standard.
Make sure you lead at the front and everyone will follow.
He did small roles and guest work for YEARS and didnt catch his big ones (This is Us, Story of OJ) til he was FORTY in 2016. And TEN years after that he’s at what people would say is the peak of his career. At FIFTY.

HR warned a Gen Z employee that leaving exactly at 5pm every day shows “lack of dedication.” The next day the guy stayed until 6pm. At 6:01 he walked into HR’s office and asked where to submit the overtime form. HR told him it wasn’t paid overtime. The Gen Z guy went back to leaving at 5pm.
bro got kicked off the team.... couldn’t transfer because no school wanted him with these allegations... now is too old to play college football at any program... she changed this mans life forever... what’s her sentence?
We were in the car after a long day, both of us exhausted. He was on the phone with a friend through the speakers, and they were talking about life, work, stress… all of it.
At one point his friend joked, “Man, marriage must be tiring.”
Without even thinking, he said, “Nah. Marriage isn’t tiring. Life is tiring. My wife is the part that makes it worth it.”
I froze in the passenger seat.
He kept driving like he didn’t just shift my entire world with one sentence.
Later that night I asked him if he really meant it.
He looked at me confused and said,
“Of course. You’re not my responsibility. You’re my reward.”
And I swear, in a world where people talk about marriage like it’s a burden…
He talks about it like he won the lottery.
And that’s all the reassurance I’ll ever need.
I saw a quote that said “when I wake up, I pray that God gets in my head before I do”and honestly that’s the best advice I’ve heard and gosh did I need it.
