Whilst the majority of these I agree with, there’s a couple that make me go hmmm not sure about that.
Eg no 1. I personally feel that love IS a feeling.
What do you think?

𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿...✍️
1. Choose to love each other, even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.

2. Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling. When possible, try to keep your phone off when you're together with your spouse.

3. Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the "currency of relationships," so consistently invest time into your marriage.

4. Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage. Remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.

5. Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy. And even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.

6. In every argument, remember that there won't be a "winner" and a "loser." You're partners in everything so you'll either win together or lose together. Work together to find a solution.

7. Realize that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It's usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak.

8. Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It takes more than s*x to build a strong marriage, but it's nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it.

9. Remember that marriage isn't 50/50— divorce is 50/50. Marriage has to be 100/100. It's not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they've got.

10. Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you've given your best to everyone else.

11. Learn from other people, but don't feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to anyone else's. God's plan for your life is masterfully unique.

12. Don't put your marriage on hold while you're raising your kids or else you'll end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.

13. Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.

14. Never lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.

15. When you've made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be quick to say, "I was wrong. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

16. When your husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly. This will promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You should be quick to say, "I love you. I forgive you. Let's move forward."

17. Be patient with each other. Your spouse is always more important than your schedule.

18. Model the kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good husbands, and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.

19. Be your spouse's biggest encourager, not his/her biggest critic. Be the one who wipes away their tears, not the one who causes them.

20. Never talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect your spouse at all times and in all places.

21. Always wear your wedding ring. It will remind you that you're always connected to your spouse and will remind the rest of the world that you're off-limits.

22. When you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, say nothing every time.

23. Never consider divorce as an option. Remember that a "perfect marriage" is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

🌷 Celebrating Mother's Day in New Zealand 🌷

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures across New Zealand! Today, we celebrate the profound influence of mothers in our lives and the boundless love they share. Mother's Day is not just a time for flowers and gifts; it's an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the strength, guidance, and compassion that mothers bring to our families and communities every day.

In New Zealand, we're fortunate to embrace diverse cultures and traditions, making Mother’s Day a rich tapestry of expressions of love. Whether it’s a heartfelt card, a thoughtful gift, or simply spending quality time together, today is about connecting with and honoring these special women.

As a celebrant, I witness the powerful bonds and heartfelt moments that make each family unique. Let's use this day to not only celebrate but also to reflect on the importance of motherhood and its impact on our lives and society.

💐 Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. 💐

Your ‘I do’ day could be just around the corner or it could be over a year away. One thing that you 100% need before deciding on anything else is an officiant, a celebrant to make it legal. Contact me with your date and we’ll chat about your needs, your wants and your desires for your day. Let’s get you married!! 🥰

❤️ Love birds for sure. Loves young dream, just starting out on their journey. ❤️ #marriage #marriagecelebrant #celebrant #manawatu #manawatuwedding #weddingdress #love #venue

Wow, what a mad, mad, mad couple of months I’ve had. Loved every minute of it. Time spent with family, couples, grandkids, friends, making cakes, holding retreats, so many high teas and of course time with my animals and hubby 🥰 Now time for a little rest before round 2!! #weddings #celebrantlife #manawatu #hightea #animals #love #retreats

You wouldn’t think it was winter, walking around the garden today with little Bonnie. Some beautiful New Zealand flora and fauna on show. Such a treat to have so many beautiful flowers and plants on show. 🌺 Growing up in the northern hemisphere there were no flowers in winter, all the trees were deciduous, so no leaves. 🍂 Aotearoa has an abundance of flowers on show in winter, such a joyful place to be all year round. Especially when you have the cutest dog in the world mooching through the undergrowth 😂. She’s so special, and deaf! If you lose sight of her she can’t hear when you call her name. So I’m often looking for her through the greenery. I love the way her colours pop against the green of nature 😍 Which photo is your favourite? ❤️. #flowers #dogs #garden #Venue #manawatu #dogsofinstagram #flowersofinstagram #green #nature #naturephotography
