I've talked a lot about my love for the show Fixer Upper on HGTV. I love Joanna Gaines natural beauty, the simplicity of how she does her makeup, the casual chic of her outfits, and don't even get me started on her design skills. I could write a paper on each of those topics, but alas, I'm here to talk about a love like Chip and Jo's.
Naturally, all of this is speculation because I don't know them personally (though wouldn't that be the raddest if I did). Anyway, from what they share in their book and on TV, they have it all together. The two of them are peas in a pod, partners in crime, and the truest of best friends.
What is it that allows Chip and Joanna Gaines to be so drawn to each other after four babies, and years of marriage? After one too many episodes of their show, and my own tips and tricks on the whole marriage thing, I've got some ideas.
I think laughter is something they both keep as a key factor and practice in their relationship. They are always joking and pranking each other. I love this because for me laughter is essential, and oh so vital. Where there is laughter there is happiness, and where there is happiness there is love.
Another thing I notice is the way they listen to each other. Granted, they're working/filming, but I would like to assume that during their conversations with each other, they aren't on their phones or watching a game (or the Kardashians) while the other one is talking. They are active listeners, responding with words of affirmation to the other's feelings Within my own marriage, when this quality is put to practice, it helps our love grow so much deeper.
There are a few other things I have noted between Chip and Joanna, but I will share those in another post.
Thank ya'll for reading. Cheers, and don't forget to comment down below about your favorite Chip and Jo moments.
