Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips.
Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that.

A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other.
&& everyday your marriage can get better.

I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other.

We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us.

If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give to others is much bigger. Those walls you're putting up will start to break down and allow a spot for your spouse beside you.

Remember, we are all different people and its all about finding the balance between your personalities. Make room for two equal people in the marriage.
BOTH of your feelings matter.
BOTH of your needs matter.
BOTH of your happiness matters.

You are not responsible for your spouses happiness, they are. Just like they are not responsible for yours, YOU ARE.

I spent too long trying to find love from other people. It made me feel inadequate and under appreciated. It wasn't until I could look at myself in the mirror and know my worth that I was able to give my love freely to others. Hence, allowing me to be a better wife to my husband, a better momma to my kids.

If you need a reminder...

1. Learn their love language & love them the way they need loved.
2. Date nights required! Stop with the excuses and make this shit happen.
3. Love without expectations. Love them because you love them and no other reason.
4. Communication is key. Always say how you feel, share your thoughts, ask for help. They are not mind readers and if you want to get on the same level they have to know whats going on in your heart & mind.

Everyday, kiss often, flirt, tell him he looks amazing. Say thank you. Compliment them. Remind them they are worthy.

Although my tips are basic and straight forward I love this and want to continue sharing. So stay tuned every Thursday for date night ideas, real talk & just me sharing my heart! Hit subscibe so YOU get a notification anytime I have a new blog up.

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

You know my goal is $10 or less, What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP! Friends, get on my level.  That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals! Overnight Oats & Eggs Super simple, super easy, budget win. x Now let's break it down. Oatmeal -- $2.29 Blueberries -- $2.29 Almond Milk -- $1.99 Eggs -- .88 Mushrooms -- 1.89 ________________________ Total spent = $6.57 But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all. One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess. Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16 Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57 Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28 Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15 Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38 __________________________ Total for one meal = $1.54 Mind.Blow...

S'more fun

I've missed date nights! With total chaos erupting in the weaver home >> Holidays, surgery, recovery, sickness it honestly has not even been a possibility and dang is it noticeable in how we love each other. When my husband and I aren't getting that time to connect, talk, just be intentional with our relationship it makes room for doubt, frustration and distance. We have both been feeling it. Even being together practically 24/7 it hasn't been focused. We knew it was time to bring back date nights as a weekly thing! && both of us were pumped up. Last year we bought this cool little book to help with date night ideas.Its called the adventure challenge. It was $40 but its FILLED with surprise dates. YUP A SURPRISE! How it works is you read the icons to see what you need/how to prepare & the name of the date and pick. When you scratch it, you're committing to it -- no matter what. Scratch it off and complete the date. So we picked one & scratched it ...
