Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍 5 thing Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍
5 things that we’ve learned:

- As we get older, we change. It’s up to both of us to adjust to the change and be willing to accept the change. Change isn’t always bad. Change is good for growth! 

- There will be times when we can’t stand each other. It’s up to us to work through the situations and move on. Life is too short to be mad at the person you love. Sometimes it’s the pettiest thing that makes us can’t stand our partners, but marriage is a partnership. It will work if both of you want it to. 

- Never go to bed angry! That’s the worst because what usually happens is the situations continue to pile up. Think of it as a balloon. When you blow into the balloon, the balloon gets bigger and bigger to the point that it may pop. That’s the same thing when we’re angry with our partner. When you go to bed angry, you allow the anger to continue to build up. Then the situation explodes and it could’ve been resolved if you would’ve talked about it that night before it got worst. 

- If you fall out of love, work on falling back into love if you want your marriage to work. This is a team commitment. Sometimes we fall out of love if our partner. They may stop complimenting us. Sometimes you may feel unappreciated and it’s up to you to express how you feel to your partner and for you guys to work on those things. So you can feel loved again and remember why you fell in love with them. 

- Marriage isn’t always 50/50 and you should be ok with it. Sometimes you may be doing more than your partner. Sometimes your partner may be doing more than you and it’s ok as long as you guys work together to get things done. No marriage is perfect. It takes work. It takes commitment and it takes two people to make it work.

What’s one thing that you have learned in your marriage?

I've been sick with the flu. Jasiel is always so c I've been sick with the flu. Jasiel is always so concerned about me. He’s my goofy child but he loves his mama. Do your kids check on you when you close your door?

It’s something about watching a man (the head of the house) put things in order. My husband had a hard life growing up in Jamaica, but that doesn’t mean our children need to go through the same.

Generational trauma symptoms are low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, and self-destructive behaviors.  It’s important to break these cycles. Working through the hurts, pain, and healing from the past helps our children to not go through the same.

How are you breaking the cycle of generational trauma?

#ad @ChewyBarsOfficial is my boys’ favorite snac #ad @ChewyBarsOfficial is my boys’ favorite snack to enjoy at the park. I love to bring them to the park so they can have fun. Plus, I can get a break from work. Breaks are needed! Most of us are busy with work and other commitments but always remember family time is important. Spending time with my boys while they have fun and enjoy their favorite snacks are important to me. Head to @ChewyBarsOfficial to learn about their delicious products.

Marriage tip: ✨ Never stop dating each other! ✨ 

@theterracegrill is the perfect place for dinner or a brunch date. On Sundays, they have bottomless brunch. The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing! The restaurant is located inside @the_dalmar in downtown Fort Lauderdale. We can’t wait to visit again. 

When was the last time you went on a date with your partner?
