Betsy Guerra talks about what it takes to keep a marriage happy, pushing back against the idea of being a "Facebook couple." She emphasizes the effort and mutual dedication required to make it work.
I am married to the sexiest man on earth, and we have the most amazing relationship. I annoy the heck out of him. Yes. But we're amazing together. We adore each other. In fact, I have a cousin that came to visit me, and we were going through a tough time in her family, so she came to support me. And by the end of her one week stay, she tells me, you know, Betsy, you guys have. You guys are a Facebook couple. I'm like, what is that? What is a Facebook couple? You know, in Facebook, everybody's happy. And, you know, you look at the pictures of family, you're like, oh, my goodness. These are the happiest people ever. They have no issues. Well, you truly are a Facebook couple, and that was the most beautiful compliment I have ever received. But guess what? I worked hard for this. Every day I wake up and I think, what can I do to make my husband happy? He wakes up and he thinks the same thing. And yes, sometimes you're not both on the same page. You're working to make your spouse happy, and your spouse is working to make himself or herself happy. So then I know, I know sometimes it's not as even and perfect as I'm making it sound. So during those times, you have the power to do the work that 100% of the work yourself for some time. No expectations. You just do the right thing. You cater to your spouse. You love your spouse. You do things that please him or her. You're constantly trying to make him happy, because guess what? That's why we got married. Sam.
