“You guys wear me out just thinking of all the things you do.” It’s a line that my husband and I hear all the time. We don’t take it personal. In fact, we take it as a compliment.
Confession: We’re both a little crazy.
One of the secrets to our marriage? We support each other’s “crazy.” Seriously. My guy is crazy. I’m crazy. (We’d have to be to do the things we do.) And we support each other like crazy. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Our favorite movie is “The Greatest Showman.” Have you seen it? I love the line “If it’s crazy, live a little crazy. You can play it sensible, the King of Conventional… Or you can risk it all and see…” That pretty much sums up how we live our married life when it comes to chasing our dreams together.
“And if it’s crazy, live a little crazy. You can play it sensible, the King of Conventional… Or you can risk it all and see…”

We recently launched 2 companies out of pocket. That’s a serious risk, friend. And it took deep faith and us supporting each other’s dreams and visions and goals on an extreme level.
You guys… when I told Chad “I think I’m supposed to launch a website to help people grow forward and achieve breakthrough in their life…”
I actually hoped he would laugh or say “no way” and give me all the reasons why I shouldn’t do it.
But he DIDN’T. He looked me square in the eye and said “Do it.”
And then he continued to push me to CHASE my dream, to do the thing that God had set on fire in my heart.
We’re in this together.
It took sacrifice and extra helping out around the house and with the kids. It sometimes meant less time together, as one of us were on the road. It meant late nights and early morning hustle. It meant believing in each other. It meant never quitting on the same day. It meant holding on for the ride…. together. It STILL means those things… every. single. day.
I’ve vowed to be honest and real on this platform. If you’re still reading this post, I want to share something deep with you….
#RealLife…
My husband and I have been together for almost 15 years. There have been times when our bank account held 6 figures and there have been times when our bank account was in the red. We have been on top of the world, and we have been in the lowest of valleys, navigating illness and family deaths and car repossessions and the electricity being turned off.
And we’re still standing, together.
Our marriage is a 3 strand cord. There is NOTHING that God hasn’t brought us through.
“What God has joined together let no man tear apart.” -Matthew 19:6
Hold on like crazy.
Here’s to the ones who vow to support each other’s “crazy”, and who love each other like crazy, through all the ups and downs that this life holds. 🙌🏼❤️
If you don’t have that person in your life yet, keep searching. Do NOT settle. God has created someone just for you. And when you find them… friend, hold on like crazy.
