Sweet Tea Sundays No. 22

by in Marriage and Relationships on

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 in Marriage and Relationships on

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.

Sweet Tea Sundays No. 20

by in Main on

One of the most fun questions we asked the sweet couples married for 25+ years who contributed advice to V6 was “What’s your best memory related to Southern food or family?” Kathy and Tom’s answer was an office favorite–any marriage that starts with a wonderful example to follow and a big slice of the family’s coconut cake sounds like a recipe for success!

Kathy and Tom

Katherine Miles Jones

What was your wedding date? August 9, 1975
Children? Two children and two grandchildren
When did you know he/she was “the one”? Kathy: I was only 18 years old and I was visiting Tom’s grandparents with his family. I had this feeling that I not only belonged with Tom, but I belonged with this wonderful family as well. Tom: When my Camaro wouldn’t go anywhere else but to Kathy’s house.
What is your favorite memory from your wedding? Tom: Seeing Kathy walk into the church with her daddy. Kathy: I was so nervous that I couldn’t seem to get the wedding ring on Tom’s finger. Turns out that I was trying to put it on his right hand. During the prayer, Tom calmly slipped it onto his left ring finger.
What’s the secret to your marriage? To support each other’s individual interests and to be happy for the time they spend enjoying them. Tom loves to golf and he loves aviation; I love needlepointing and book club. It’s important to foster the personal interests that make someone who he/she is.
What is your favorite thing to do together? Our ancestry is Scottish and we love traveling to Scotland together. Every minute spent there is fun, magical, and memorable. It feels like home.
What is your best memory related to Southern food or family? Out best Southern food memories involve family gatherings–Thanksgiving, Christmas, family reunions–where there is always a multitude of Southern desserts. Ma’s chocolate pie graced the table at every family reunion. Grandmother’s Christmas morning coffee cake signaled that the holidays were here. And our family recipe (dating back many generations!) for fresh coconut cake was used for our daughter’s wedding cake in 2011. It was a joy for that specific food memory to be woven into her wedding.
