How’s your marriage ?

We're like a real life Addams family 🖤 I couldn't ask for more

It was definitely a learning curve adding a baby to our lives and struggling financially plus family drama. We had to relearn how to do a lot together actually. My husband started listening to some podcasts on relationships. We started forcing time for ourselves (no matter how tired we are) and we’ve learned better communication so we’ve become great teammates, partners, and friends

As the other Katie said, there was definitely a big learning curve when I was on maternity leave and again when I returned to work and our son started childcare, about division of jobs and the mental load

I am sooooo lucky too have such a healthy, happy, loving relationship and although it was definitely an adjustment having a baby and we did go through a rocky phase we’ve come out the other side stronger. He is literally my best friend in the entire world. I couldn’t love him or the example we are setting for our daughter more. Marry your best friend and the one who makes you laugh until your belly hurts ❤️

13 years together, 3 of those married and we really are going from strength to strength.

We just had a baby and he’s an AMAZING dad. We’ve been together 7 yrs since senior year of high school. Married for almost 4. Communicating everything, not having any secrets, never going to bed mad, always say I love you even if you’re mad at each other, prioritize our relationship, support each other no matter what

10 years together and 2 kids, and the biggest thing is communication. Listen to actually hear what theyre saying, not just to reply. Have the hard conversations and give each other room to feel what they feel without making them feel bad about it. Also, learn how they need to be loved. Look into the 5 love languages. Theyre about how you show and feel love best. Once you figure those out, make an effort to show love how THEY feel it, even if it doesnt feel to you like youre showing love (Ex: my husband is acts of service, im more quality time. So hed be up cleaning the house, making dinner, etc., showing me how much he loves me, and i was annoyed because i just wanted him to slow down and spend time with me. We had to sit down and be like 'look, i know thats how you feel loved, but its not how i feel it' and then i started helping with housework more, and he started slowing down to spend more time with me and that annoyance went away). These do change over time, so reevaluating is never a bad thing.

Sustaining my marriage is the easiest part of my life and it makes everything else better. We’ve been married 7 years, together 9 years

We just got married in January, but have lived together since nov, 2023. We have a son ( my stepson) and a 4 month old. It’s all adjusting to this new life. It’s sometimes very hard to deal with all the things going on in life, openly communicating is key, I’m very bad at it but I try to be openly communicating better and speaking my mind and even asking for help. I knew going into marrying him there were going to be bumpy roads, and sometimes I shut myself off, but at the end of the day we go to sleep together. We both know that there is no divorce for us, it’s we will always work it out.

We have a happy and healthy marriage with ups and downs.
