DEC 2019: CAROLYN UMBLE

Two Key Elements we practice daily:    
​Trust that we both are committed to the marriage for life, and communication to make sure we don’t leave anything to assumption.  During a busy workweek, we often can go through a day’s time without talking to each other, but we do usually send a short text of encouragement to each other, which can instantly bring a smile and the understanding that someone who deeply loves us has our back.  At the end of the day, a simple phone call ties everything together.
​
Communication is key:  We are both very independent, and not at all needy, which works in this relationship.  We each have our own passions that we like to pursue when home on weekends, but we are most likely together on the farm, doing those things.  Although I say that, we are also interdependent on each other, and hold fast to the love and respect we share for one other.  Simple gestures like stopping for a hug carry a lot of weight.
