Welcome beautiful wives, women and guys who may be reading this! I am Shamikia Ward to the world, daughter, sister, auntie-extraordinaire to others and most importantly; the loving wife to one chocolate guy!

12 years in equates to being a little “seasoned” in marriage, however, even with all the vast knowledge of love and marriage that I have, I am still learning & growing everyday! I love fellowshipping with others, especially women! I have had this deep-rooted desire to share with you all the many life lessons and learnings I’ve been blessed with through the years.

My grandparents were married for 56 amazing years before my grandmother passed away in 2011 and fortunately for me I had a front row seat to observe what it truly means to promise your love to someone in sick and health for the rest of your life. Throughout my posts, I will refer to them a lot as they truly set the bar for my expectations of love & marriage!

I look forward to engaging with you all as we discuss the joys and a few woes of marriage and life in general in a modern world!
