“Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, doesn’t have a swelled head, doesn’t force itself on others, isn’t always ‘me first,’ doesn’t fly off the handle, doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, doesn’t revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end."
Corinthians 13:4-7 (MSG)
Twenty years—two decades filled with love, laughter, challenges, and growth. As we take a step back to reflect on this incredible journey, we are reminded that love is not just about the grand moments but also about the everyday connections that make life truly meaningful.
The Beauty of Lasting Love
Love is more than an emotion; it is a commitment, a daily choice to cherish, support, and uplift each other. Over the past 20 years, we have learned that love flourishes in small moments—morning coffees, shared smiles, handwritten notes, and comforting embraces. These simple yet powerful gestures are what strengthen the foundation of a lasting relationship.
Lessons from Two Decades Together
Every relationship is a journey, and each year brings new lessons. Here are some of the most important insights we've gathered along the way:
- Communication is Key – Honest and open conversations create understanding and deepen bonds.
- Growth Happens Together – Supporting each other’s dreams and aspirations strengthens the relationship.
- Patience & Forgiveness – No one is perfect, and learning to forgive is essential in fostering love that lasts.
- Cherish the Little Things – The magic of love often lies in the smallest gestures of kindness and appreciation.
- Celebrate Each Other – Every milestone, big or small, is worth celebrating.
The Power of Connection
Love extends beyond romantic relationships—it weaves into friendships, family bonds, and community. Over 20 years, we have witnessed how meaningful connections uplift, inspire, and bring purpose to our lives. Whether it’s through shared experiences, heartfelt conversations, or moments of support, strong connections remind us of the importance of being present for one another.
