In the spirit of valentine's Day Chiki Kuruka, Sauti sol's Bein Baraza's wife has shared her lessons on what she has been able to pick up from their relationship. Today marks their 8th year anniversary.
Pouring her heart out, Chiki called Bien her partner for life and considers herself lucky for having him in her life.
In her advisory message, she mentions that loving yourself comes first before finding someone to love you.
The love birds got married in a private wedding in March 6, at Lavington, Nairobi. Despite a number of celebrities calling off their relationships the two depict the true epitome of sticking together through thick and thin.
She started by writing;
"But Yo, it was our 8th Valentine’s Day! I was sitting watching ‘love island’ yesterday morning, thinking…… what 8 things would I tell year 1 Valentine’s chiki. So that in 8 years I can look back and say, ‘that was silly’ or maybe ‘guuurl you were wise 😂’ anyway these are the 8 things I think I’ve picked up."
Check out her relationship tips below;
1) Bad times don’t last forever…… but neither do good times, the love is what happens in between.
2) Never stop loving yourself. That must come first and foremost
3) We all mess up. When you mess up you want to be forgiven, so extend the same grace to your partner.
4) Try and laugh on the shit days, it makes them less shit 😂
5) Mariage is 50% private and 50% community. Learn when to depend on each. You will NEED your community just as much as your privacy.
6) You partner is TRULY awesome. Remember that when he is pissing you off
7) The team takes priority over the moment
8) Celebrate your friends and family (and your partners) you will both need them to have your back when you feel unheard, but also to tell you off when you are being unfair. ESPECIALLY your mums 💜
I love you B, to DEATH….. and not just in that mushy movie way, but in that partner for life, even on bad days way. 💜
