i've been a little caught up reading up on other people's secrets to happy marriages. and wonder how it must be like to be in their shoes, enjoying one another's company and help chase each other's dreams. but for now, one can only imagine.. and probably sit at a corner and look with envy. :)
"Grace + AC's secrets to a happy marriage:
1. Talk it out: No matter how angry you are, talking always helps. I wasn't a big talker before meeting Aaron (I was a big "slam the door"-er) and he taught me the value of talking through any and all difficult situations.
2. Support each other's dreams: AC loves to play poker and guitar, and he also likes mixed martial arts. If he wanted to leave his job to pursue any of those, I would support him 100%. And I know he'd do the same for me. I realized a few years back that no matter how good the salary or benefits, if your partner isn't happy, even the best job is the wrong job. If you're both truly happy, then material things really do become less important.
3. Go on adventures: Whether it's a scooter ride to Coney Island or a backpacking trip out west, remember to experience new things together. AC and I are complete opposites, but we both love to try new things, which keeps us growing together.
And above is a sneak peek from our wedding :)
