Keep The Spark In Your Love

I hope the sparks never go away.

To all of you couple’s out there, please please never let that spark go away. Please never get out of that honeymoon phase. Please never get rid of those butterflies every time you see your significant other.

When I talk to couple’s, I always ask what their story is, how they met, who they are as a couple, etc. I LIVE for the details. The details of who you are as a couple and how those sparks began initially.

When I photograph a couple, I see the way they look into one another’s eyes. And I see pure joy. I see unconditional love. I see a promise.

And I get to witness that promise that they make to one another in front of all of their loved ones. That vow they make. For better or for worse.

I feel so lucky because growing up I witnessed my parents fall more and more in love with one another every single day. And even to this day, I witness them go on date nights every week. I hear it in the way they talk about one another. My dad always says “she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

Never once have I heard them talk poorly about the other. Instead, they support, encourage, and cheer the other on, day in and day out.

So here they are over thirty years later, and still so in love.

Marriage isn’t always a fairy tale, it’s a journey.

But the best part about that journey? You get to go through it together.

So never allow that spark to disappear. Keep it in that love of yours, remember it from the day you say “I do,” and choose to say those two words day in and day out to the one you chose and the one you choose every single day.
