An article on the Today Show's website features a Tweet by Will Smith to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith for their 20th wedding anniversary. The Tweet got 1.3 million likes and 37,000 comments. I thought it was worth commenting on because there was much I agreed with, and some I didn't that I think is worth highlighting.

Will Smith's full Tweet:

“20 Years Ago Today we held hands and walked naively down that aisle. Here’s what I’ve learned since. . Love is Like Gardening... I have learned to focus on HELPING you to BLOSSOM into what YOU want to be (into what you were born to be)... Rather than Demanding that you become what my Fragile Ego needs you to be. . I’ve learned to take pleasure in Nourishing YOUR dreams... Rather than wrestling with you to Fulfill my Selfish Needs & Satiate My Insecurities. . I have learned that Love is Listening. Love is Giving. Love is Freedom. Happy Anniversary, My Queen! I am forever Devoted to Nurturing your Deepest Truth.”

I break down his comments and talk about what I like, why I like it, and what I disagree with.

Episode highlights:

  • Why I agree that “Love is Like Gardening..."
  • Why it's selfish to nurture and support your partner
  • Why a healthy romantic relationship is both giving AND receiving
  • Is having an ego good or bad?
  • Why I hate the saying, "A happy wife is a happy life."
