This September will make 9 years of marriage for us. At our wedding, his vow said “it’s you and I,” and that’s still the way we live. I got a DM asking me to talk about relationships in my #SpinalCordInjuryAwareness series. I’m no expert, but I can share what I know from my own life. Relationships require intentionality and continuously choosing each other, disabled or not. But now add disability into the mix and there are extra layers… like making sure the places we go are accessible, planning around fatigue, balancing independence with support, and even navigating intimacy in new ways. These layers don’t make our marriage less, they just mean we’ve had to communicate more, adapt together, and choose each other in deeper ways. At the core, the same things matter, love, respect, laughter, patience, and faith. For my ladies, don’t settle just to say you have someone — keep praying, keep discerning, learn about yourself and trust that the right person will see you as the answer...
