Mari Madrid Instagram – 10 YEARS! Yesterday we celebrated 10 years of marriage. Holy cannoli. What feels like an eternity (probably because we work together too), but has also flashed by. Marriage has been what it’s promised to be for us. Beautiful, difficult, and earned. You have the base of love that your relationship was built on in the first place, then you build a life together brick by brick. Yes, it will be tough and enduring, however, it will be something you’ve created together, something that you have the choice to take joy and pride in each day. It’s an accumulation of the daily choice to learn, accept, and believe in a person, in all situations – the silliness, the friendship, the fighting, the bad breath in the morning, the disagreements on rug colors, the booty love taps when we walk by each other – that and more… is love. Thank you to our tight circle of family and close friends for always being there to encourage us, hold us accountable, and believe in us. Marriages are a couple’s connection and work, but it’s also held up by the people who surround you. We’re so grateful for God’s love that encloses us and protects us. One decade down for these Madrids, much more to go.
