Our Mentor used to tell us “marriage can get better and better every year” - I used to roll my eyes. Lol 👀
Like get real! You’re having a laugh 😆
Who is actually getting better every year?
We are exhausted!
We have kids!
We fight about groceries and laundry and who is more tired!
We misunderstand each other for sport 🙈
And half the time it felt like we were just trying to survive the week without emotionally tackling one another🫣
Better every year?
Sure! Maybe for you!
Cute dream. 🛌
But here is what she really meant.
It is not that marriage magically upgrades itself.
It is that you slowly upgrade.
You soften.
You learn to communicate instead of combust.
You realise you are not enemies.
You stop waiting to lose and start wanting to win together.
And then one day,
Very quietly,
You notice the shift….
The laughter is louder than the tension,
The small moments feel sweeter,
You know each others rhythms.
You stop trying to fix each other and start supporting the growth when it comes,
You remember why you chose each other in the first place!
Somehow,
Without really noticing it
You wake up in a marriage that feels like home 🏠
A relationship that feels like a rhythm you both created,
A marriage that actually does get better every year.
So now I say to our Mentor,
You were right.
Here we are.
Still learning,
Still growing,
Still choosing,
And somehow loving each other more deeply than the year before
Turns out better every year is not a joke
It is a promise two people keep showing up for every day.
Next event in Brisbane is happening 6-8 Feb 2026!
