first round.

tame: {not so secret} secrets to marital bliss.** This is one of our very first pictures together! July 2005!

our secrets to a happy marriage aren't a secret. they are quite basic and simple. but, if followed, will definitely bring an eternity of happiness!

1. whenever i'm going through challenges with the house not being clean or something not getting done, Kevin always reminds me to just love him. when he says that, i feel so lame. life isn't about the perfectly clean house or whether or not chores got done. that means nothing without Kevin. so, just love each other. look past little things that seem so big but really aren't.

2. i am stubborn. extremely stubborn. i am still learning to let go and forgive easily. be quick to forgive and forget. it's amazing what forgiveness can do!

3. show interest in what your spouse has interest in. listen to how their day was or what they are learning in school or work. it will bring you so much closer together sharing interests and experiences.

these are simply a few things that will make a marriage stronger. i know in my marriage, remembering these 3 things will keep us loving each other forever!
