3728 Look How Far You've Come

Marriage is a journey that evolves over time, from the initial spark of dating to the intricate tapestry of navigating careers, raising a family, and weathering life's storms together. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget to pause and reflect; take a moment to look how far you've come. Doing life together is better, but it does require a significant amount of work. Even though the work is worth it, you won't know it unless you take time to reflect and look how far you've come.

Yet, as you've matured and grown individually and as a couple, you see what drove you crazy as a little quirk that you now giggle about. Life is too short to fret about all the things. There are definitely things that should and will concern you. But not all the things. Otherwise, you are going to drive yourself crazy for sure. However, you don't have to be like everyone else. You can view your spouse through the lens of unconditional love. That will bring you to the point where you can celebrate how far you've come. The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate how far you've come! If you don't, no one will. In fact, why not do it every year? Imagine what that would do for your relationship and bond together. You could see the good, the bad, and the ugly with a different perspective now that you're on the other side. It might be something that all of us need to try. Here are three ways to celebrate how far you've come as partners and to cherish the blessings amidst the challenges.

1. Reflect on Milestones: Take a trip down memory lane by revisiting significant moments in your relationship. Whether it's your first date, the day you got engaged, or a memorable vacation, reminiscing about these milestones can reignite the spark and remind you of the bond you share. Create a scrapbook, watch old videos, or simply sit down and share your favorite memories with each other.

2. Acknowledge Growth: Marriage is a journey of growth and self-discovery. Reflect on how you have both evolved as individuals and as a couple. Have you overcome challenges together? Have you developed new hobbies or interests? Acknowledge the progress you've made, both individually and as partners, and celebrate the ways in which you have supported each other's growth.

3. Express Gratitude: Take a moment to express gratitude for your partner and the journey you've shared together. Write a heartfelt letter, plan a surprise date night, or simply say "thank you" for the little things they do. Gratitude can deepen your connection and remind you of the blessings in your life, even amidst the chaos of everyday responsibilities.

Life is a beautiful journey, and marriage is a testament to the strength of love and commitment. By taking the time to look back and appreciate how far you've come as a couple, you can find renewed joy and appreciation for the remarkable bond you share. Embrace the journey, celebrate the milestones, and cherish the moments that have brought you closer together. "Be present. Be incredible.
