This is one of the social media debates that makes everyone upset.
I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer, you have to do what is best for you in your relationship.
Ayesha spoke to Hello Giggles and make it clear you have to put your marriage first.
HG: I’d love to ask a little bit about your family life and your work. What’s something you think people would be surprised to know about your marriage to Steph?
AC: I want to say that we’re good communicators, but maybe that wouldn’t be a surprise. But that’s what keeps our bond strong. Even when we don’t want to talk about something, we talk about it. Especially from my perspective, I’m a lay it all out on the table kind of girl, so whether it’s a tough conversation or an easy conversation, I never have a tight lip. I tell it like it is and I tell it straight, and ultimately I think it keeps things a lot better for us.
HG: Do you think that’s what’s helped you stay together for so long and through so many huge changes in your careers?
AC: I definitely do, and I think that mutual support has also done that. And then also the biggest thing, both of our parents are still married and have been married for 30-plus years, and the one thing that they both shared with us—some through learning it the hard way, some through just making sure that they do it—is just making sure that we put each other first, even before the kids, as tough as that sounds. Putting ourselves first, and making sure that we make time for date nights and for each other. That’s been very important, as hard as it is. Because when you become a parent, you want to put your kids first, and we do, but we do it second to our relationship. Because ultimately, when our relationship is good, the kids are happy and they’re thriving and our family life is good. We have to put that into perspective and realize that it’s not us being selfish, it’s making sure we set a strong foundation.
