Relationship tips to keep your marriage humming!

A work in progress.

In life and love we don’t achieve success, we cultivate it. Once we have it, there is still work to be done. Seth Godin, a successful entrepreneur, author, and public speaker, blogged something recently that really resonated with me. He said:

“Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.

Perfection and polish aren’t nearly as important as good light, good drainage and a passionate gardener.

By all means, build. But don’t finish. Don’t walk away.

Here we grow.”

When you think Asheville weddings, you probably think beautiful mountain views.  However, it isn’t all about mountain weddings here in Asheville NC.  We have so many great venues, and one of my favorites is the Grand Bohemian Hotel.  Walking distance from the main entrance of the Biltmore, The Grand Bohemian Hotel has one of the most stunning ballrooms.  It is so decadent and beautifully done.  The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious.  If your looking for a mountain wedding with a Ballroom feel, The Grand Bohemian Hotel is the place for you.  The hotel is romantically chic and is a perfect spot for a beautiful Asheville NC Wedding.

I am sure you have heard over and over again how we have a love hate relationship with Pinterest.

Why don’t we like it? I can not tell you how many brides we have seen walk into StudioWed Asheville and say I want this… and only this.  When you do that you immediately stop the wedding professional for being creative and doing what they do best.  Also, have you ever thought that maybe what you want won’t suite your wedding. Make your wedding your own.

Why we love it? It is fun! Also, it is still great for inspiration.  It helps us get a feel for who you are and your style.  We do use Pinterest all the time in the wedding industry.  Just be careful how much you use it.

StudioWed Asheville is filled with some of the best Asheville wedding vendors in the area.  So trust them!

All that being said.. Here are some of our favorite on Pinterest today.

Relationship tips to keep your marriage humming!

Sleep on it.

A common piece of advice that you may have heard is don’t go to bed angry. While it’s usually a good idea to confront problems head-on, sometimes we need a little time to process. Research conducted at the University of California, San Diego, found that people often solve ongoing problems during REM. “When people sleep, the brain reshuffles memories, combining old associations and new ideas to come up with solutions,” says study author Sara Mednick, Ph.D.

So sleeping on our problems may sometimes be more productive than trying to hash things out right before bed when we’re tired. Just make sure that you don’t use this as an excuse to completely avoid problems.
