Live Everyday and Do Everything with Love
What if we could end the divorce rate? What if we were able to help couples live a more amazing life together? What if we could help couples have the same joy they had on their wedding day, every single day in their marriage?
At first these all seem like crazy ideas and dreams that we couldn’t possibly hope to accomplish. People have told us, “you’ve only be married 5 years, what do you know about the struggles of marriage” or “What makes you an expert on marriage?” The truth is nothing makes us an expert on marriage. And sure, our first 5 years of marriage have been pretty darn AMAZING. But the fact is, no matter what other people say about us, or our “lack of experience” none of it can affect our passion to help couples have a more amazing life together!
What is the chance that we can end the divorce rate? Absolutely zero if we don’t do anything!
In the wedding photography industry, and within the larger wedding industry in general, people are so excited and eager to give advice for an amazing wedding. There are countless blogs and magazines that share ideas from how to pick the perfect photographer to how to decorate your reception tables. Unfortunately, the thing that is not always at the forefront is how to actually prepare to be married to each other. It is actually difficult to find resources or inspiration for couples to help them stay in love as much as they are when they say, “I do.”
In business, people are quick to sign up for workshops, conferences and seminars. But in life, we often don’t see the need to commit to the same sort of investment. As Kid President would say, “This is your life, people!”
With all of these thoughts in our mind, we decided to do something. We decided that even if we can help one couple have a better marriage or one couple take time out of their busy week for a date night, then all our efforts would be worthwhile.
We sat together and talked about our passions. We talked about our business and our life together. We asked ourselves if there was one thing in our life that we could do that was truly worthwhile, one thing that we would be willing to give up everything for, one thing we would be willing to take criticism on, what would it be and would we still do it? The answer to this question was yes! That one thing we would do was to help couples live a more amazing life together.
As photographers, we have the amazing opportunity to work with couples that are in love, to capture that love in photos for generations to see 50 years from now. Each time we pick up our camera and photograph our couples, our goal is to create images that let their love shine through. But, in addition to photographing weddings and love, we have the opportunity to do so much more.
For the past month, these thoughts have been at the forefront of our mind. So we decided to take action. We decided to create a webinar for couples that gives them an excuse to take time to focus on each other, a time to have a date night, or cuddle together and enjoy breakfast in bed. We decided to create a webinar that focused on couples, love and marriage. But, we knew we shouldn’t do it alone. We knew that if we included other couples, other love inspirers with similar hearts, that we would be able to reach the lives of so many more! And it is for those reasons that we decided to create the AMAZING Life Together More Time for Love Webinar.
If you are a couple in love, planning your wedding, married for 6 months or 60 years, we would love to have you join us for free on April 26th – 27th.
Every couple has a story to be shared; every couple can learn from others experiences even if it is a simple reminder of how great their own marriage is already!
Since we launched our site http://www.amazinglifetogether.com we have received some amazing feedback on what we are doing! But, we have also seen criticism and been ridiculed as well. When I started writing this post today, my original thought was to address these criticisms, but then I realized, no matter what, “haters are gonna hate.” So, instead of worrying about people trying to bring us down, we are going to focus on lifting others up. Each day we have the opportunity to choose our own actions. Today and everyday, no matter what it is that we do, we are going to live everyday and do everything with love. How will you spend your day today?
