  • We didn't tell each other what our 3 biggest lessons were until we sat down and recorded this! Both of us brought 3 to the table and I loved what Daniel had to say. Subscribe to the channel and hit the bell!

    Lots of wisdom here, for marriages of any vintage!! The initial fizz of falling in love is great. I married very late (the year I turned 50). I certainly enjoyed that fizz! And of course my husband and I have enjoyed and appreciated the good times, big and little, that we've shared over the years. But what I have loved even more is having a stalwart companion with whom to face the difficult times. By now we've both experienced eldercare challenges. Some health issues and surgeries. Knowing that my husband is all in, one hundred percent...priceless.

    There’s something so beautiful about embracing imperfection. When you’re aware of imperfection, there is a huge weight lifted off one’s shoulders. It’s truly so humbling. It brings you right back to being a child, relying on someone else for everything. God holds us at all ages.
    Even when you’ve had a rough day, looking into your loved one’s eyes is the comfort that is so special because what a gift it is that his God-given expression can comfort me so well.
    It’s wonderful to have young Catholic couples to look up to, fully embracing the struggles and joys of marriage.

      How exciting!!! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I am actually working on a very special project for engaged women right now because I don't think there is enough guidance for women specifically through engagement! Can't wait to share more about it!

    Thank you for this!! 1-effort: how much can I put into this? (He just got home from work, so she gave him an apple snack). 2-being in love doesn't compare to true love 3:15. 3-you never know how much time you have together... Treat each mo.ent as if it could be your last together. 4-time is the most valuable asset, live in the now. 5- 8:39 role as mom is different than role as dad.6- 10:05 your marriage is not going to be perfect, and it's never going to be perfect because we are imperfect humans. 11:00 Emily's response: we're both always growing, evolving, changing. We have to figure out how to love (and serve) each other as we change. (how can we love each other in this season?) Also liked hearing about the surrender novena at the end of the video🙂

    Lovely video, and advice I'll definitely take to heart. I also can't help but chuckle with Daniel saying, "they're going to think we planned this!" After only being married for 3 and a half months, my husband and I have similar trains of thought when talking so often 😂

    Oh my gosh! When did Daniel have blood clots? How did I miss that? Was it in a previous video?

    • @emwilss
      @emwilss  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think we talked about it briefly in one of our previous marriage videos. When it was happening, I shared a little bit on Instagram. He had those blood clots just a few weeks before Zion was born in 2018. It was quite a time!
