LOVE LIVES IN US.. THE WINSTONS.     Winston & the Mrs, E.L & Roni

Love lives in us…the Winstons. And we want to share some of it with you.

“Hey dear, your slip is showing.”

“Don’t air your dirty laundry.”

“Don’t throw your pearls before swine.”

“Our business is our business.”

Your momma warned you about ensuring that other people only knew what she wanted them to know. Somehow we have stopped keeping that same energy. Now, we want to tell our buddies/girls about everything wrong with our mate.

Oversharing is not the way to go. Keep you and your spouse some business!

The Mrs.

I love my friend girls! They help me to get through moments of crisis They celebrate the wins with me They are absolutely amazing and I don’t know what I would do without them, but they are not my spouse I can’t tell them everything whether it be the good, the bad, or the ugly. If I do share with them, then these are the friend girls who realize that any complaint is not grounds for divorce or who love the way Winston loves me rather than harbor resentment towards my happiness.

I have these good friends because I have shown myself to be a true friend, so shouldn’t I give my mate the same energy I wanted a loving, committed, communicative relationship, so I had to demonstrate that I could be that type of woman myself. At the end of the day, no one should be able to tell you anything about your spouse that you don’t already know. If we have a problem, I need to talk about it. If I have an opinion, I should share it. If something bothers me, then I must open Pandora’s box. The work of a well-balanced relationship means I know who I am, I know who my partner is, and we share all of the ebbs and flows Stop letting your slip show!

I really hate it when people do that whole If I were you I would…. BUT you're not me and I won’t be following any of that stuff you’re saying. I've always been of the mindset that I’m not gonna share anything with another person that I haven't shared with my spouse and I don't share with people who don’t have my relationship’s well being in mind Often when someone is giving their many opinions on how you should do all of these things they've failed to do them in their own broken relationships. Today’s age of content creation and video transparency with over sharing is at an all time high and people have forgotten that everything is not meant to be shared with everyone If you're talking to anyone other than to your spouse about any concerns, be they big or small, you’re doing your relationship a disservice and a great harm. You can not be overwhelmed with the opinion of friends and family because they did not take those vows and they don't have to be concerned about any outcome. My wife is my soulmate and partner in crime. I always come back to those points when I do share something with my boys about a situation Remember some things need to be just for us and about us

Thoughts to Leave You

Friends are wonderful and being open with them is wonderful, but if your partner is not your closest friend and greatest confidante, then something is broken. All of your best secrets should be hidden in the heart of the one you see as a lifetime partner. The fullness of your relationship is developed by the love that lives in us, so why would you share your most intimate self with anyone else? Your love is precious, so stop spreading it in the streets!
