I interviewed a couple that are close friends of mine regarding their relationship. I wanted to know how they have kept their marriage together for the past 10 years. I also wanted to know what advice they would offer to other couples. Here are a few snippits of our conversation:
Has marriage always come easily? Ian’s answer was a laugh. Whitney was more verbal with her response, “Oh hell no, it took us probably 3 years to finally get used to living with each other. I mean we weren’t living in my mom’s basement anymore playing house. Now we had a mortgage, and responsibilities and that was an adjustment that each of us went through differently. There were plenty of arguments and I’m pretty sure if we weren’t so broke we would’ve divorced!”
WHat advice would this couple offer to other couples? “Always make sure you take time for yourself and for you as a couple. In the end that’s what you have your marriage. It’s so important and it should be the one thing people cherish but yet we throw it on the backburner. Make sure you get one date night a month. The sooner you make that the easier it will be to continue on with it.”
