A Deep Dive Into Love
Lish explains how the podcast, “I’ll Just Let Myself In,” encourages listeners to open doors that life presents to them without waiting for permission. In this special episode, she hosts Jimmy, her husband and partner in life, business, and faith. Their conversation becomes an exploration of the theme “Into Love Part Two,” reflecting on significant lessons learned over their year and a half of marriage. They recognize that no one is fully prepared for marriage, but their shared experiences have helped them forge a successful partnership.
Lessons from Year One
For Lish, love has evolved from being about uniformity to embracing harmony. The couple has discovered that working through differences and maintaining joy amid challenges defines the success of their marriage. Jimmy concurs, expressing how their marriage thrives not in the absence of struggles but through actively working to overcome them.
Faith as a Foundation
Faith plays a pivotal role in Lish and Jimmy’s marriage. Their shared beliefs initially brought them together, and spirituality continues to be a guiding force in their relationship. Jimmy attributes his spiritual growth to Lish’s dedication to prayer and her ability to incorporate faith into daily life. Their spiritual compatibility is a cornerstone of their partnership, complementing each other’s weaknesses and strengths.
Navigating Differences
Raised in different cultural contexts, Lish and Jimmy have had to navigate their distinct backgrounds within their marriage. This journey, still ongoing, involves meeting in the middle, combining the best of their upbringings, and being open to learning from one another. Through these differences, they mold a unique blend that represents their happy union.
Marriage Advice
Reflecting on the counsel they’ve received, both Lish and Jimmy emphasize prioritizing one another. They remind listeners that a successful marriage involves constant effort, patience, and the ability to put their relationship above all else. Whether through premarital guidance or talking to their “young OGs,” they underscore the importance of external advice and internal reflection in building a robust marital foundation.
Valentine’s Wisdom for the Single-Hearted
