Julie Gichuru is an example of "having it all", the phrase made famous in American-lingo for women having perfect careers, perfect husbands and perfect lives. Forgive my use of the word perfect but you get the point.

The two have gone through a lot in their marriage with one example being them losing a child. A tough experience for any couple but they have persevered. Last year, she penned a sweet poem for him thanking him for the great journey.

She wrote:

18 years of love and friendship,

14 years of blessed marriage 💙

And still my love,

The approach of your footsteps excites me,

The sound of your voice makes my heart soar... Still my precious,

Butterflies flit away within at the mere thought of you,

Your presence makes me giddy & breathless... Oh yes... Still,

My King,

You make me feel like GIRL, a WOMAN and a QUEEN all at once 👑

You. Make. Me. Feel. LOVE. 💙

I thank the LORD for you, my Simba.

I honour you, my love...

I pray for many more years to come, by HIS grace.

This year she wrote again commemorating 19 years of being together:

Anniversary loading...

Me and my boo ❤❤❤

19 years of LOVE, 

15 years of MARRIAGE 😍😍😍

This type of relationship is rare especially for the generation born after the 1970's. Very rare. Good for them.
