Shortly before I got married to my wife, I had so much anxiety and questions about many things.

Will I still be faithful to my wife after 2 years?
Are we going to still be in love after the first year?
Are we going to be intentional about each other when we have a child?

We got married, and the first few weeks were so tough that it seemed as though all my fears were becoming real. The communication and adjustment struggles made me feel like that was how it was going to be for the rest of our lives.

As the weeks turned to months, we started communicating better and were more vulnerable with each other. We shared each others insecurities and fears of the future as it relates to the marriage only to realise we both had similar fears.

As we prayed more together, we got a simple strategy. This strategy was that we didn't have to worry about how our relationship will be in the next 2 years, but all we needed to worry about was "how we are doing in the relationship TODAY."

Our daily goal is to be faithful & intentional, communicate vulnerably, resolve conflicts & serve each other TODAY, like it's the only day in the relationship, & tomorrow, we reset the clock & do the same like it's the only day we have had, not boasting in yesterday's efforts

We are looking towards 2 years in marriage and we have been blessed with a baby boy. Though we have had very tough days, we are way more in love & intentional about each other than we have ever been. In truth, it doesn't feel that long because we are taking it a day at a time.
