Love Never Fails

Wanna know how we made it to 17 years?

By following this formula for unfailing love. These words are our guardrails:

Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It ALWAYS protects,
ALWAYS trusts,
ALWAYS hopes,
ALWAYS perseveres.

LOVE NEVER FAILS!
-1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

We abide by these truths.
We hold ourselves accountable.
We don’t compare.
We protect our own.
We gaurd against offense.
We assassinate assumptions,
our default is communication.
We manage our garden intentionally and consistently, and honor, safety, love, honesty, trust, and intimacy continue to bloom.

Happy Happy Anniversary Alfonzo Jones II!

I’m graced for you.

I’m committed to you.
I love what we’ve built.
I’m amazed by our perfectly, imperfect family.
and I STILL vow to Love, honor, and cherish you always and forever!
It’s so easy to love you!!!

It’s Worth It!

Here’s your friendly reminder .. it’s worth it!

With the right tools your Marriage can and will THRIVE, you’ve just got to put in the work!

Alfonzo Jones II and I struggled at the beginning of our marriage, love was there but communication was non-existent, active listening seemed impossible, and we couldn’t speak each others love language because we had no clue what it was!

We had the love but we were missing the tools and that ALMOST killed our marriage!

BUT LOVE SAID NOT SO!

Now we communicate freely, we listen actively, and we’ve become forever students. We’ve done our work and each episode we are excited to bring hope to marriages all around the globe as we share our experiences and the tools that saved our marriage!

So for those that feel like throwing in the towel, or for the one that is looking for preventative maintenance, this podcast is for you!!!

Marriage is always under construction, but it’s worth the work! Tune in!

Birthday Love

When I think of you, one word comes to mind, fantastic!

In the beginning, there was you and I.

For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.

When I’m afraid … you protect me
When I’m sad … you console me
When I’m lonely … you comfort me
When I’m angry … you hear me
When I’m tired … you provide rest
When I can’t see … you can
When I have a need … you meet it
When I have a dream … you support it

I would call you superman, but even he isn’t strong enough to carry the weight that you do. So I name you Fantastic Fonz.

In this life, I’m not sure of many things, but I know, without doubt, that you will be my always and forever.

I’m so glad you were born, for my sake and the sake of many:

Your presence is necessary
Your wisdom is required
Your silent strength is comforting
Your heart connects with another heart uniquely

YOU MATTER!
This world would not be the same without you in it!

I’ll never assume you know this & ensure that you constantly hear it.

I love you Fantastic Fonz! I still get butterflies when I look at you. You truly are one of a kind!

Happy Birthday!
💓Gwen
