Elleven (11) Years of Marriage

As Austin and I celebrate 11 years of Marriage, I want to share a few things I have learned along the way.

Marriage is not always 50/50, some days you will need to put in a little more effort.
Choose for someone who will encourage you to chase your dreams and grow.
Understand each other’s strengths and let them take point in the situation.
Communication is important but listening will save your relationship.
Golf takes five+ (5+) hours, even if the round only took three (3).
Life is incredibly short, say I love you even when you are upset.
Date nights are important, but so is having no phone time.
Experiences last longer than material possessions.
Outsource chores either of you hate doing.
Fight fair, only bring up current issues.
Separate toilets are necessary.
