My wife, KayEm, and I recently celebrated our 12th Wedding Anniversary. During these 12 years, we have shared many experiences – some good, some bad – but through it all, we have persevered. God has blessed us with three beautiful children and a marriage based on mutual trust and admiration.
We were able to spend a kid-free weekend in Dallas, TX. I can’t remember the last time we were able to get away without the children, but I’m glad that we were afforded the opportunity. We relaxed and rekindled our relationship.
But more importantly, I got to reconnect with the woman of my dreams.
I doubt that I could ever love anyone the way I love KayEm. No one knows me better than she does. All the secrets of my heart are hers. I truly adore her.
She is my greatest blessing and my brightest light. She makes my life full of beautiful things each day.
She is my best friend, my companion, the one who makes life worth living.
She is my lover, my hot thang, the one who fuels my desire.
She my queen, my one true love, the one who fills my life with passion.
Her kiss warms my soul.
Stay Strong,

Awwww, Happy Anniversary to the both of you. May God Bless you with many, many more years
Happy Anniversary to you both.
Congratulations!!! J-Mom and I celebrated our 11th this year and I could ask for a better partner through life so I hear what you are saying! Here’s wishing you many happy years to come!
What a beautiful and loving tribute to your wife. This was awesome to read. Happy Anniversary, you two!
Sounds like you were getting a little worked up there at the end! Congrats on 12!
This was really beautiful, MD. Almost made me tear up. *smile* Me and DH reallllyyy need to have more “date nights,” and we’re working hard on this. I love the babe so much and love how our life has changed because of him…. but one thing that i do miss are the special, romantic times we used to share. Very necessary.
And P.S. Happy Anniversary!!!!
Happy Anniversary to you both, and all the best for many, many more!
Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely wife!!
congratulations on the anniversary. My wife and I are in the midst of our 12 year as well. My 6 year old was born in Dallas. Sounds like you had a great time
Beautiful! I love the post and happy marriages. Congrats to the both of you!
That was such a sweet tribute to your wife! Happy Anniversary to you both!
Happy, happy anniversary…and many more!
this was really sweet. and we rekindle our relationship by taking small trips too! at least once a year we try to get away just us to get some time together. and more than just a couple hours. it’s necessary for us. i’m glad you were able to do it!
Congratulations!
William and I celebrate our 15th soon! Time goes by fast when you’re having fun -right!
congrats to you and your hot thang!! You still seem like newlyweds
had to flip back to confirm that google was indeed featuring a “You Can Stop Your Divorce” ad in your sidebar – the nerve!!
Congrats, MD! Twelve years is quite an accomplishment. Here’s wishing you 60 more….
Nice post. Happy Anniversary.
aww!!! That was such a sweet post
Dwayne and I keep our marriage hot by still dating each other and occasionally role playing (kidding) (maybe). We share intimate moments (not in the physical form) that keep us well connected and in touch with each other. I will be celebrating 16 years in a few months. I plan on at least getting to 50 years. I wish the same to you and K. God bless you both and keep up the good work. Marriage is not dead! We can bring it back in style!!
Congratulations! It’s great to see couples that truly want to be together, and work at keeping it alive.
I should probably read through all these comments. I’m coming up on my first wedding anniversary and can only hope our relationship will be as strong as yours is a decade from now!
Congratulations, my husband and I just made 16 years and I attribute our success to our faith in Jesus Christ. He helps us give our best to each other and he helps us forgive each other when we don’t. Hope you and your wife have many more blessed years and that God continues to enable you to raise a healthy black family.
Her kiss warms my soul…
This is what I love about your blog. It’s not silly or funny (well sometimes) or contrived. Just honest and open. Beautifully written.
Great thought. My wife and I are about to celebrate 12 years as well. We are enjoying some time away from the kids as well. I am seeing that I have to purposely schedule dates and times that we can hang. Also, we have scheduled a coffee and conversation time each Friday. Although we don’t always make it, it is a time that we can chat or just chill. It works.
I bet she loves you all the more after that post.
To keep the spark in a marriage, you should never take each other for granted. Never treat your partner with disrespect. Never treat your partner in a way you wouldn’t treat a dear friend. Make sure you always make time for each other every day, even if it’s only 15 minutes where you have each other’s full attention. Be polite. Make sure you keep having FUN and laugh every day. Be each other’s best friend. Don’t forget to give compliments. Never stop surprising one another. If you have kids, remember that the best thing you can do for them is to have a solid, happy marriage, and any time you invest in making that happen is worth every minute.
Congratulations on 12 years!
I am wondering why it has been so long since I visited your website. Love your thoughts and your words.
Thanks for sharing and BTW I subscribed.
Loved the post…it is inspiring to other married couples who may not be there right now…
Wow! That was beautiful! You both are very very very blessed to have that kind of relationship! We all should be inspired! I am!
Rock on. I’m kissing my wife right now.
This is a lovely post about your wife. Happy anniversary!
Congrats! Sounds like life is very good within your household. To answer your question, we keep our marriage hot by sharing everything, laughing a lot, getting a month alone once a year while the kids are at Nanny’s, and by impromptu hotel stays in our own city.
What a lovely tribute to your wife and marriage! Cheers!
That was a heart warming and touching! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to even make year 3 in my marriage..but I hope that I get to year 12 and beyond in my next go-round..whenever that shall be!
I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but K is a lucky woman–lol!!! Congratulations on your anniversary and longevity and happiness. You two are an example for us all
Lovely story. It’s never easy to keep marriage always together forever. I pray for you.
