This is the Celebrate Your Spouse Project. I talk a lot about "Celebrating" people in your life. It's an element in relationships that so many people miss and it attributes to the rise in divorce. However, I also see so many examples of people doing this everyday and setting example for what an imperfect, but loving relationship looks like. No relationship will ever be perfect, but what's important is that you work on it and grow together.
Celebrating your spouse can be big things like announcing to everyone how important they are in your life, to small things like showing off their talent and creativity in a subtle way, or even just enjoying simple pleaures in life together.
Are they real? Well, they came from my Facebook news feed, so I get to share with you also some wonderful people I know. Knowing all these people, I know some of their ups and downs and struggles they've shared. A few of them are typically men and women of few words, but mean every one of them from their heart, others are very free with their love and compliments. "Love" is thrown around so casually by people, especially online...so this means more to be able to share people I know and the genuine depth behind what they say. I've blocked out their last names for their privacy. This is a work in progress and I'm starting with some posts that have stuck out in my mind. I wish I could share with you all the living example of people I know that make these orts of things part of their life routine but just don't post it on Facebook, but unfortunately, posts must do!
These are posts I've collected from people that had no idea of the project when they posted. The post was from their heart and that's what caught my eye:
Celebrating the simple things

A man of few words, but many pictures
This requires explaination. Vicky's husband did a Kickstarter (and succeeded) and she constantly was posting to encourage people to support his project. She even changed her profile picture to the logo.
