Relationships

I cannot imagine a life without ‘us’. I don’t think I could of loved my life as much as I do without having my partner by my side. He is my constant, as I am for him. I think a life without family, friendships or relationships is a life without love, a life without purpose.

For me, my husband encompasses the meaning of family, friendship and relationship. So much of my life is interconnected to my relationship with my husband. He has been my partner in crime throughout all the good memories we’ve created as well as the challenges we’ve overcome.

And to think that it all started years ago when we were two highschool kids figuring out life. For years, we were ‘just friends’. We both never thought that a few years later, it would blossom into this wonderful relationship we have today. We fell in love, traveled the world, got married and had our first child in our 20’s. It just gets better and better and I cannot wait to see what’s next for us.

This page is dedicated to all things great about relationships. Join me as I share tips to building great relationships, my personal experience of love and little rants and thoughts about love and relationships.
