Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade inspire couple goals everywhere. It’s no secret that the pair have had their fair share of ups and downs, but the couple continues to live what it means to love through the good times and bad.
“Celebrity relationships [are] very hard,” the Miami Heat point guard previously said on “The Tonight Show” of his tough break with the “Being Mary Jane” actress — whom he’d dated since 2009. “This was a big year for us and our relationship from the standpoint of she was shooting her show “Being Mary Jane,” going most of the year. I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship, so we kinda took a step back.”
Still, the couple have been stronger than ever since reuniting and eventually jumping the broom. In fact, the duo recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary, where Union shared the sweetest post commemorating their big day. “Someone told me that if our wedding was any indication of how our marriage would go, there would be alot of happiness in our future…And he ain’t never lied! 8-30-2014 was the 1st step and we keep on steppin,” wrote Union, alongside an elegant wedding video via Instagram.
“Every day I think there’s no way I could love you any more than I did the day before, but I fall deeper in love with you each morning. Thank you for your belief that we were both capable of evolution and committing to be your best self for our family. Loving u poopy!,” she continued.
As previously reported, the couple got married in Miami. Attendees included Ludacris and, Eniko and Kevin Hart. John Legend performed at the ceremony, and the bride looked beyond stunning in a custom strapless Dennis gown.
So, how does one keep the love alive or simply find their one and only? Here’s what the experts have to say:
Get back to the basics.
“Friendship + Intimacy + Commitment = Love,” tweeted Paul Carrick Brunson, Founder of PCBAgency, a matchmaking service offering coaching, workshops and events for those serious about finding love.
“Spend more time and energy developing your listening skills. Better listening means a better life,” he previously said.
Investment is key.
“You can’t save a relationship unless both people are equally invested. It takes a joint effort to make it work. One person trying will never be enough,” life and eelationship xoach, Tony Gaskins, once said.
With that said, “Ladies: If a man really wants to be with you, you WILL know it! If you have to question it, let it go,” added the Mrs. Right: A Woman’s Guide to Becoming and Remaining a Wife author.
Be clear about your expectations.
When looking for your perfect match, “mapping out your own core values and making sure they align with the people you date helps you in being clear on the type of person you want to be in a relationship with,” matchmaker and relationship coach, Michelle G, previously told BlackDoctor.org. “Clarity will help you communicate what you’re looking for — use your head and your heart!”
