Love Mantra

The secret to a long & happy marriage is not the idea that nothing bad is ever gonna happen. But it’s that when something bad happens, u know how to get through it together. One of the most important things is that when u’re having an argument, instead of ratcheting up the emotion, u diffuse it. In the middle of a fight, say, “i love u, u’re the most important person in the world to me,” even if at that moment, those words are the hardest ones to choke out because u’re so mad. It reminds u both of the big picture. It doesn’t make it instantly better, but it takes it down a notch. And in the cool-down period afterward, u’re not left questioning. U know everything is gonna be okay. Half an hour after the fight, it’s over & u feel good. And remember, never go to bed without forgiving each other. ❤
