    me & my wife both woke up randomly at 2AM yesterday! Instead of going back to bed, we spent the new few hrs in the dark chatting and laughing about random sh*t we been thru over the years! nice reminder why being married to your best friend is lit 😊

    Before marriage, I mastered the silent treatment. It took nothing for me to shrug off an emotion or confrontation against a wall of silence. I used to think silence worked; at least, we are not arguing, right?

    Let me tell teach you something about marriage. ⁣ Once during a massive argument over the laundry, my wife took the overpriced diamond engagement ring I bought her and threw it in my face like it was cheap Wood Green Market Hall NYC jewellery? Was she mad?⁣ 1/16

    If you wish for anything; want that you can still make your partner laugh at 60 the same way they did at 21. That is marriage.

    My wife argued about immaturity and accountability, but I drowned it in silence (sometimes for days) until it became unbearable for us both. Silence is an awful way to solve a problem, especially in a relationship. Silence doesn’t encourage forgiveness or understanding.

    Don’t get it twisted, I am not doubting your love. ⁣ But if you are serious about marriage, I don't want to hear about love. Love is the icing on a giant cake, and sometimes it spreads too thin. People think love is an emotion when really it is a commitment. 10/16

    Look at the couples that have arched their backs for 20 to 30 years for their partners.⁣ Don't look at newlyweds on social media for marriage goals. Don’t look at tweets. Marriage is not a race; it's a long marathon.

    Tell me about ⁣commitment— asking for the help while choking on pride and humiliation. Breaking down—not crying—breaking down every single atom of your existence in your partner's arms. Can you handle that vulnerability? Are they strong enough to put you back together?⁣ 11/16

    While my mouth stayed silenced, my mind overflowed with resentment and anger about the issue. Even after you open your mouth, even after you ‘make up,’ those emotions leave a bitter aftertaste, they stay at the tip of your mind, waiting to be triggered by the next scenario.

    Your timeline says the past doesn't matter, but in a marriage, everything matters because a marriage is built on foundations.⁣ 13/16

    For over 21 years, I had a habit of sleeping with my bedroom lights on. That stopped when I moved in with my wife. I had lived alone since 17, and I opened the doors to our first home entirely unprepared for the reality that comes when building a household with a partner. 1/12
