I love these pics! They symbolize a key component to having a strong marriage! No matter what, we have each other’s back!
Having each other’s back is not just standing up for your husband when the enemy attacks but protecting his emotional space. You have to become a student of his emotional reactions. Having your partner’s back means being attentive, responsive and willing to quickly address a shift in their emotional well-being.
I encourage Chocolate to talk when he’s upset, even if it’s with me! Which is like never…. but when he is, I usually do something more annoying to make him forget about whatever it is that I did to upset him to begin with! 😆
There will be days when you have to love each other as you struggle to like each other! On those days you have to remember that this is your best friend, your soulmate and speak to the King you know him to be and address his actions without attacking his character. He is still your King, you just don’t like something he said or did.
I make a conscious effort to always speak life into Chocolate. I encourage him to call me when he’s having a bad day and let me be his peace! I give him tough love, when things are not going the way he would like, I challenge him on the shift that’s required from him to make things go differently. True love comes with accountability. ❤
