TAKE HOME POINTS FROM FARYAL

  1. Why the smartest decision you may ever make in your life could potentially be marrying your spouse. And not for superficial reasons like income...
  2. Sometimes we may find our “prince charming’ but may not be in the right emotional state to be with them at that time. Some things….perhaps even the BEST things take time.
  3. Being intentional about spending quality time with your spouse, does not mean you have to like or do the same things together all the time. 

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF
