9 Years of Us — A Simple, Sacred Anniversary at Home

This year, we marked 9 years of marriage—not with fireworks or fancy dinners, but with something far more meaningful: a quiet celebration in our home, just the two of us, giving thanks to God.

No big guest list. No elaborate plans. Just love, reflection, and gratitude.

The Beauty of Keeping It Simple

We didn’t need a venue to remind us of what matters. Our living room became sacred space. We sat, talked, laughed, prayed. A simple meal. A slice of cake. Some music. Nothing extravagant—yet everything we needed.

Sometimes, the most powerful moments are the ones that aren’t posted, planned, or polished. This was one of those.

A Moment to Thank God

Looking back on these 9 years, we see God’s fingerprints everywhere:

  • In the quiet answered prayers.

  • In the storms He carried us through.

  • In the joy, growth, and grace we’ve been given—again and again.

This anniversary wasn’t just a checkpoint. It was a moment to say, “Lord, thank You for holding us, shaping us, and sustaining us.”

What 9 Years Has Taught Us

  • Love isn’t always loud—it’s consistent.

  • Growth is messy and beautiful.

  • Prayer is not optional; it’s the glue.

  • Laughter helps. So does patience.

  • And sometimes the most meaningful celebrations are the ones spent in socks on the couch, toasting with mugs, not wine glasses.

Looking Ahead

As we step into our 10th year, we’re not chasing perfection—we’re leaning into presence.

More small moments.
More listening.
More grace.
More “thank You, God.”
And a whole lot more love.

Final Thought

To anyone feeling like their celebration isn’t “grand enough”—we get it. But here’s the truth:

Love doesn’t need a spotlight. It just needs a willing heart, a grateful spirit, and the choice to keep showing up.

And on this 9th anniversary, that’s exactly what we did.

Here’s to the next chapter—still growing, still grateful, still together. ❤️

Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships?

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
