1) We were broken when we first met. Both of us were still digging ourselves out of trenches and beginning our paths of healing when we met- we didn’t know God. We broke those chains together. I came back to God first. Then Jason. We got baptized. Jason became the spiritual leader of the household. THEN the spiritual fruit began producing. 2) We have vastly different upbringings. I was a party girl with a solid 2 parent middle class upbringing with rebellious ways. Jason, on the other hand, had quite a tragic and toxic upbringing, that posed challenges through the years. So we go to therapy & we love it. Not because something is broken. Because we want to keep growing, communicating, evolving- together. 💕 3) We were immediately inseparable. It is absolutely true that when you “know you know” and that when he likes you- he’ll make it apparent. We were instant best friends and left for a week-long trip to Puerto Rico three days after we met and never separated since. 4) We’re both neurodivergent. He’s autistic and I have ADHD and we lovingly refer to each other as the “autistic & the artistic” and when we combine our super powers- we’re unstoppable. 💪 5) We honor our marriage and put us first, after God, before our children. But that doesn’t mean we don’t adore and cherish our kids. They’re our world and focus. And because of that- our relationship is our gift to them. It sets them up to know what a healthy relationship should look like. Our love is security. A testimony. A lifelong lesson. It’s teamwork. It also means that our kids are not ours to keep- one day they will be gone and on to their own families and what will remain is Jason and I and OUR relationship- still. 🫶💕❤️ 6) Oh! We’re having the best sex of our lives! It’s slower, deeper, not as often but so sacred. It’s the kind of intimacy that happens when you’re fully seen. 🤤 7) We don’t have a 9-5. We weren’t created for it. We chose a life rooted in creativity, life, freedom, and family presence. Even if it’s not always stable or lucrative. 8) It’s not always butterflies. But we always come back to each other. We seek resolution. We repair. We CHOOSE each other again & again. 🦋
