We genuinely want to help each other the best way we can in the most meaningful way we can.

Not just in a general I’m here for you kind of way. In the specific ways that actually matter to each other. The ways that make a real difference. The ways that say I was paying attention to what you actually need and I showed up for that.

Because we care about each other. Not just as spouses. As people. We care about what the other person is carrying. What they’re working through. What would make their life a little easier or a little lighter.

Life is hard enough on its own. There are already enough things coming at both of us from the outside. If we can make things easier for each other we’re going to do that every single time. Without keeping score. Without waiting to be asked. Just because we love each other and that’s what love looks like in practice.

That’s something Trone and I have always been intentional about. Not just being present in each other’s lives but being genuinely useful to each other. Helpful in the ways that count. Supportive in the ways that actually land.

That’s what partnership is supposed to feel like. Two people who are actively trying to make life better for each other because they care enough to.

Does your partner make your life easier just by being in it? Tell me about it in the comments.

There’s so much to gain from being with someone who stretches you.

Someone who doesn’t just accept every version of you but actually pushes you toward the better ones. Someone you can grow with in real time. Practice with. Work through things with. Someone who sees what you’re capable of even when you can’t fully see it yourself.

That’s something Trone and I have always been for each other.

When you’re with the right person your relationship becomes one of the greatest places for personal growth. Because you’re getting real time feedback from someone who knows you intimately. Someone who has seen you at your best and your worst and still wants to see you win. Someone whose opinion of you actually matters.

That kind of feedback hits differently than anything you could get from a book or a podcast or even a therapist. Because it’s coming from someone who is in it with you every single day. Someone with full context. Someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart.

Being stretched by your partner isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it means hearing things you didn’t ask to hear. Sometimes it means being challenged in ways that require you to look at yourself honestly. But the growth that comes from that is some of the most meaningful growth you’ll ever experience.

Find someone who makes you better just by being with them. Be that for them too.

What I would do as a wife with my husband, may look different than what another wife does with her husband.
We are NOT all the same.
We do NOT all have the same desires.

What all men "supposedly" want
VS
What YOUR man actually wants may look different.

What all women "supposedly" want
VS
What YOUR woman actually wants may look different.

People & relationships are NOT one size fits all.

Figure out the needs & desires of YOUR partner or person of interest NOT what social media (random people on the internet) deems as needed & desirable.

When I say setting goals in your relationship, I’m referring to the relationship itself.

Not the kids. Not finances. Not household s**t. Not anything external of the two people in the relationship.

Like now that yall are together....
how are you going to grow together as a unit....
what’s the point of yall being together...
how are yall building each other up physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually ...
what self work do you have to do individually to ensure the relationship thrives forever...
what values does your relationship stand on & how are you upholding those values....
I could go on & on.

REAL RELATIONSHIP GOALS

It gotta be more than I love you & you love me.
So let’s just be together. It’s not enough. I think that’s why a lot of people aren’t fulfilled in their relationship.
The RELATIONSHIP itself has to be fed...outside of adult responsibilities (finances, kids, household)

Trone & I have been married coming up on 10 years &&& we are STILL in the honeymoon “phase”. I believe us being goal oriented within our relationship has been one of the key reasons for that.

What’s some goals yall have set in your relationship?

I love being his wife. 🥰

The truth is I didn’t know how to be a wife when we got married but s**t who does? There’s no manual for this. I just did & have been doing what I believe a wife should do & be.

Through love, communication & the mannnnyyyyyyyy lessons learned over the almost decade of us being married… I definitely have some things figured out but some 😮‍💨 I have to hold my hand up as if I’m in a classroom & ask him….uhhhh bae what do you need from me in the season, on the journey, in this situation, during this challenge, whatever….

I think that simple question has been a HUGE help in our marriage. As his wife, if I know what he needs, I can then throw some wifely spice on whatever it is & help him through it.

When was the last time you asked your partner, what do they need from you?

SN: Don’t let social media distort your views on love & healthy meaningful relationships. It’s REAL! It’s POSSIBLE!

For the Husbands and future husbands here’s a pro tip…

When your Queen breaks something then ask you to fix it, her asking you to fix it isn’t really about NEEDING you to fix it at all…

It’s about her pride in being able to say that
“I got a man to do that”.

It’s not that she can’t do it herself or get someone else to do it…it’s the fact that SHE WANTS YOU TO DO IT.

So fellas, if you don’t take pleasure in being your lady’s superhero to fix big and small stuff even when you’re not actually needed 😅, having a lasting relationship might be tough for you lol.

Use this information wisely lol.

🚨MEN🚨…Here’s Some Free Game. I PROMISE This Perspective Will Transform EVERYTHING About You & Your Relationships Going Forward If You Let It.

🚨WARNING🚨…This will require an extreme level of accountability.

Back BEFORE Adoria and I were married, any time we had an argument or got upset with one another there were certain people I would go to about the situation who I trusted and valued.

Some of those people you would assume owed their loyalty to me and some to her
(You NEED Both).

In every situation those people on both sides would defend her. In moments when I was right and she was wrong, they STILL defended her.

Not because of her being wrong or right but because of her character overall and the obviously recognizable value that everyone could tell she STILL brought to me.

For me, this pattern became a sign that “I had to be better”. For myself, for her, and who I knew we could be together. Because of this I gave myself completely to my growth and her and decided that no matter what happens to us, I STILL HAD TO GROW.

I had to grow to be mature enough to handle the love I wanted, to be the man I wanted to be, and to prove myself worthy of the good I wanted to come into my life regardless to if Adoria and I worked out.

Fortunately enough for me…we did more than work out lol and to this very day (12 years later), this woman is still making me better. 😏💪🏾

There are about 3 strong lessons there my brothas and I hope you catch them all.
Peace and love ✌🏾

Real happiness in a relationship comes from joyfully and selflessly serving your partner.

It’s when you do it out of love and caring for them, rather than out of the idea of it being an “obligation”.

We all know that love is not just a feeling, it's a constant action. It’s how we choose to show up daily for the one we care about.

It’s about setting the standard for who we’re going to be for them, so that they can receive the best of who we are.

This way of being has literally been one of the unspoken foundations of our marriage that has served us both so well.

And to be real, everything that we have built together has come with this shared mentality towards each other.

We want to hear from you family!
