Sweet Tea Sundays No. 23

by Lisa in Marriage and Relationships on May 18, 2014

If you have ever attended or followed Lara‘s Making Things Happen conference, you know and love the lady behind today’s marriage advice! Gina Zeidler is a dear friend of Southern Weddings, as well as a talented photographer and an amazing encourager and speaker. We love her faith and focus on what matters, and we’re excited to share a tidbit of what she’s learned in six years of marriage today!

Listen to each other. Compromise and take time to stare into each other’s eyes. Honestly, take one minute to gaze at your spouse and love them for who they are without distraction. Also, it’s been such a blessing in my life to have a gratitude journal of what my spouse does for me. It helps me stay grounded and focused on serving him back!

I love the idea of keeping a gratitude journal of things my husband does for me. What a great suggestion!

Sweet Tea Sundays No. 22

Anyone who knows Kristin knows that she has a huge heart for marriage and she loves cooking. Well, both of these qualities that help make KNW so special stem from the folks in today’s Sweet Tea Sunday–her parents! Steve and Angela Neal were married on Mother’s Day 35 years ago and will be celebrating their anniversary on Tuesday, so today was the perfect day to post the advice they shared with us for V6. Happy anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Neal!!

A God-centered relationship will give you a shared sense of responsibility, a basis of church friends with common values, and a great resource of older, more experienced couples for sounding boards when things get tough. Pray for each other and your marriage. Everyone brings their own baggage to the relationship. Both individuals must acknowledge their shortfalls and work on them. You cannot fix the other partner. You can, however, be supportive and caring. Remember that compromise is okay and that both partners will at some point give more than their fair share. LOVE unconditionally.

Having a God-centered relationship is so important yet so often overlooked in this world. I’m glad y’all value that! Happy (early) anniversary to you both!

Sweet Tea Sundays No. 21

by Lisa in Marriage and Relationships on May 4, 2014

With the countdown to my wedding officially under one year, I figured it was only fitting that this week’s Sweet Tea Sunday went to my wedding photographer! Ryan Ray and his lovely wife, Cary, are the sweetest couple, and they’ll be celebrating five years of marriage this month. We’re so grateful to have highlighted their beautiful work on the covers of both V5 and V6, and we’re delighted to share their sweet advice today!

Marriage will never be perfect because it’s two imperfect people doing life together. Strive to love the other person for who they are, and not who you wish them to be. It’s laying down pride, asking for forgiveness, and reflecting on your own heart instead of your spouse’s. Our marriage has grown when we’ve been willing to sacrifice for each other. It has been lots of laughter, some tears, and ultimately, surrendering everything to, and placing all hope in, the Creator of this beautiful mess we call marriage.

Hi Lisa, I’m sure that Ryan did excellent work on your wedding…just checked his blog and saw that he also worked on cover for Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine. Also, I’ll definitely check V5 and V6. P.S. Second photo is so romantic :)
