Speaking Wrong At The Right Time: Relationships

My Wife Is A Blessing

Adam B. Coleman — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 11:35:56 GMT

Paris - December 2019

Today, my wife and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary, which coincides with us being together seven years.

If I were to describe my wife, I would label her as one of the best people in the world. She has this quality that makes everyone who meets her fall in love with her.

Lauterbrunnen - September 2026

When I think back to the beginning of our relationship, I saw this about her at a function we went to at a friend’s art studio.

My friend had this smart piece of artwork she drew of a cat that Michele commented on, saying how much she liked it.

I made up an excuse to step away and plotted with my friend to buy the artwork from her, but not to say anything to Michele as a surprise.

Mind you, at this function, she didn’t know anyone there yet. When I peeked across the room to check on her (and to make sure she didn’t see me buying the artwork), I could see her beautiful smile as she laughed in the company of strangers.

It’s one of those cliché movie moments where it feels like everyone is moving in slow motion. It was a moment I realized that I could take her anywhere and she would find a way to have a good time.

It was the first time in my life I ever thought about how my partner represents me and how I represent her. These weren’t concepts I consciously thought about until her.

Without even asking, people would come up to me and tell me how much they love her. She radiated something unique that literally every single person who meets her is attracted to.

I’ve been writing for years and even I struggle to put the proper words to it. The only way I can describe it is that she has an excitement for life and a genuine curiosity about the world that makes other people feel comfortable.

I joke with her and say she likes everything, but it’s more like she’s open to what and who God places in her pathway.

I’ve lost count of how many of my friends have said they like me but they love Michele. It’s a statement that I completely understand and I take as no insult.

That day was the first day I saw her as my potential wife. Honestly, every day after that was me assessing her for marriage and making sure that I was being logical in my relationship decisions and not just caught up in my emotions.

We became official in September 2019, and before the end of the year, I knew I was going to ask her to marry me. I’d been in many relationships prior, but she was the first woman I foresaw that my life would be tremendously worse without her in it.

She’s my best friend and I trust her with my life. Every year we travel for our anniversary to reconnect and brace ourselves for new experiences.

There have been so many circumstances where we had to step up for each other in a difficult situation, even in medical situations, and we always came through because we have each other’s backs.

Nothing brings me more pleasure than seeing her smile just like that day in 2019. She is truly loved by many internationally.

I know she’ll read this: Happy Anniversary, Michele. You are the blessing I never thought I deserved.

Side Note: We still have the art work

This Anniversary, My Wife Doesn't Know Where We Are Going

Adam B. Coleman — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 14:41:11 GMT

Every year since our honeymoon in September 2021, my wife and I have traveled internationally for two weeks to reconnect and celebrate our love.

It’s a tradition that has taken us to six countries so far, but this year, she doesn’t know where we’re going: it’s a complete surprise.

Are They The 'One' You Should Marry?

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:02:52 GMT

How do you know if someone is the right one to marry? It's a difficult question to answer, but it's a necessary one to ask so you don't spend years with someone you'll hate.

Recently, my friend Isaiah Carter got married, and I'll be one of his groomsmen at his wedding ceremony in a couple of weeks.

It's An Honor To Be A Father

Adam B. Coleman — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:53:48 GMT

Becoming a father has been the greatest blessing of my life and an honor my father missed out on. When my son was born, I knew I didn’t want to be like my father: a selfish man who chose everything over his children.

Growing up, Father’s Day meant nothing to me, but now, as a father, it has become a moment to reflect on my growth as a man for both myself…

Parents: Don't Be Afraid Of The Teenage Years

Adam B. Coleman — Tue, 27 May 2025 12:31:50 GMT

When my son was born, I felt unusual because I was looking forward to his teenage years. Typically, parents are infatuated with the toddler years and want them to last as long as possible; not me.

Growing up without my father, I couldn’t wait to give my son the advice my father never gave me. I was excited to be there for him when he was confused about t…

When I Knew I Wanted to Marry My Wife

Adam B. Coleman — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 14:17:43 GMT

I knew early in our relationship that I wanted to marry my wife and spend the rest of my life with her. She's obviously beautiful, but it was her amazing character and our friendship that solidified this choice for marriage. In other words, I'd be an absolute fool to let her go.

We started off as two friends who happened to be single, quickly progressing…

Life Is Too Difficult To Want To Live It Alone

Adam B. Coleman — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 16:19:11 GMT

A few months ago, my friend got married to the perfect woman for him. She's kind, supportive and cherishes him.

Doctors recently diagnosed him with cancer, and he underwent two surgeries to resolve it. I wondered how much more difficult it would be if he had to deal with this alone.

If Given A Life Review, Would You Be Proud Of Your Conduct?

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:51:17 GMT

If you were to die today and given a life review in the afterlife, would you be proud of your conduct?

As you stand there rewatching every moment in an instance, would you regret how you treated people?

I think about these questions often.

Walking Has Brought Me Closer to Good Health and To My Wife

Adam B. Coleman — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 15:59:30 GMT

A few weeks ago, I started a 12,000 steps-a-day challenge for a week. I enjoyed it so much that I kept it going, usually well surpassing 12,000 steps.

Since then, I've lost 3.4 pounds, I have more energy overall but most importantly, it has brought me closer to my wife.

Pearl, 'Date Nights' Aren't Transactional If You Marry Your Friend

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 15:11:33 GMT

Recently, YouTube personality Hannah Pearl Davis implied that "date nights" are one-sided measures only wanted by women & used to leverage sex.

But when you marry someone you like, date nights aren't a chore for men: They're a pleasure. I married someone I like hanging out with & experiencing new things with.

The First Time I Told My Wife 'I Love You' Was In Paris

Adam B. Coleman — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:44:11 GMT

The first time I told my wife that I loved her was about three months into our relationship while visiting Paris, France.

This was the first time we were able to travel together and it helped to solidify my intention to marry her.

Our Children Aren't Resilient; Divorce Breaks Them Often

Adam B. Coleman — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 14:32:36 GMT

One of the most damaging phrases that adults tell themselves is that "children are resilient" as a rationalization for divorce & other detrimental actions decided by the adults around them.

But they're not special creatures who are uniquely resilient; adults break them often.

What is Love and What Does it Look Like?

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 14:16:22 GMT

I was having a conversation with a follower of mine and he admitted that he's not sure if he's ever been in love or if he's been loved before.

He genuinely asked me to define "love", and what it feels like or looks like in a relationship. So, here is my answer:

Cultural Misery and the Projection of Relationship Failure

Adam B. Coleman — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 15:43:13 GMT

The first public backlash I received was when I went on a podcast & talked about how I was engaged to be married years ago: that's when I felt the brunt of miserable people.

It's only gotten worse with recent focus on Simone Biles & Pierce Brosnan's marriage.

From Lonely To Married: How To Attract Healthy Women

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 14:11:01 GMT

With the abundance of lonely and late 20s virgin men who are desperate for a healthy relationship, the demand for sound advice to change these circumstances has also increased.

I wanted to give some logical advice as someone who used to struggle with attracting women.

Relationships & Political Differences: How My Wife and I Overcome This Obstacle

Adam B. Coleman — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 12:46:35 GMT

The way some people talk about relationships, they make it seem like you must find someone who is exactly like yourself.

However, when I met my wife, we didn't even share the same politics yet she became my biggest supporter in my political writing career.

My Nomad Tendencies Are Thankfully Gone Because Of My Wife

Adam B. Coleman — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 12:18:42 GMT

My adult life has steadily consisted of dreaming about living the life of an international nomad. But it took me years to figure out why I was so eager to live this life and almost moved to Germany to make this “dream” come true.

First, let me state that this is just my personal interpretation and it does necessarily reflect every person who is a nomad o…

I Found Love IRL: How Technology Forces Us To Date Strangers

Adam B. Coleman — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:53:51 GMT

As I'm preparing to pack for Italy and Greece to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary, I'm thinking about all the people who are struggling to find love in the dating market.

One of the reasons people are struggling is because the dating market is a stranger market.

Prior to meeting my wife, I participated in the rat race of online dating like most pe…
