October 2nd was our second anniversary. Two years!!! It feels longer, but in a good way. So much has happened!
Over these two years, I’ve learned a few things things about marriage (and, of course, am still learning). Say thank you. Say sorry. You’re allowed to get annoyed. Kiss each other especially during fights :)
The secret to a long and happy marriage is not the idea that nothing bad is ever going to happen. But it’s that when something bad happens, you know how to get through it together. One of the most important things is that when you’re having an argument, instead of ratcheting up the emotion, you diffuse it. In the middle of a fight, hug him tight; like you never want to let go of him, even if at that moment, it's the hardest because you’re so mad. It reminds you both of the big picture. It doesn’t make it instantly better, but it takes it down a notch. And in the cool-down period afterward, you’re not left questioning. You know everything is going to be okay. Half an hour after the fight, it’s over and you feel good.
That's one of our secrets. Would like to know yours as well :)
PS: Here are few fun pics from our anniversary photo-shoot.
