Love Is Xquisite With Sunil And Felicia Rami
Love is a beautiful connection that has to be celebrated beyond the matrimonial ceremony. It is important for the world to visually see more loving interactions too. Despite challenges and turmoil, love can still be a resilient act between two people who value one another. For Sunil and Felicia Rami, their love hasn’t always been a fairytale but it has proved to be worthy.
The lovebirds have a triumphant love story that will inspire couples globally. They tuned out the naysayers to choose love. Their love has blossomed overtime and today they stand even truer in their images of love. The two recently shared their love story in hopes of encouraging and empowering others:
What is your definition of love?
“Our definition of love is loving someone as a whole & loving someone no matter their flaws and all. Loving someone even if they are not perfect but at the same time doing things to help them with their shortcomings so that you guys don’t argue/fight about it. By that we mean if you know a certain bad habit your partner has that doesn’t serve you or them but hurts you in any way/shape/form the partner should stay ahead of the game and make sure that it doesn’t happen. Your partner should learn your weaknesses and help you with them. This helps you to become a better team, it makes the other partner appreciate you, have gratitude, deepens the love, shows that you care; and there’s a lot of intention shown. That’s love.”
How do you balance marriage, parenting, and your business empire?
“There is no formula for this. We’re still trying to figure it out every day. Our marriage and business usually work like a well-oiled machine because we communicate and plan everything out daily & weekly. When it comes to the parenting part we are lucky because she simply doesn’t complain. It’s like she knows. She’s been in the office with us many times as we work and deliver food to clients. I think this attributes to bringing her to the office with us at a very young age which makes her feel comfortable at work with us.”
Do you believe in gender roles; and if so, how do you manage them at home?
“Yes, we believe in gender roles but we’re not scared to step outside of the norms if need be. By that we mean we do believe in the feminine and masculine/traditional roles but if for some reason you have to perform outside of your role, you do it without ego or pride. For example, Nil takes out the trash at home/work/office but if he’s not around and the trash is piling up, I’m not going to leave it for him. Another example is if Nil is at home with the baby and I’m working he will take out the trash, do the dishes or do laundry without hesitation.”
What are 5 important tips for a great relationship?
“-Communicate and listen to each other about everything.
-Be private about your relationship issues.
-Learn each other (good & bad) and help each other with the weaknesses to strengthen the good.
-Know when to leave each other alone, back down, step away when arguing or having a disagreement to simply sleep on it. Revisit the situation later so that you don’t do/say anything you will regret. In the meantime, figure out how to articulate to your partner how you feel with love, care and compassion for one another.
-Know what your partner wants/needs and meet those standards (or compromise) to avoid looking for it in the streets.”
How did you all determine that marriage was right for your relationship?
“Well in our case Nil knew he wanted to be married so he approached me with that intention from day 1. With that being said, once someone puts it out there from day 1 it makes you want it, think about and want it for yourself too. Marriage and wanting kids should be an expectation set as early as possible so that no ones time is wasted. This way you can either get aligned with your partner or get out the way for the next person.”
What advice would you give to singles who are pursuing marriage and dating with a purpose?
“Stick to your standards and expectations. Express your deal breakers and stand firmly on them. If someone is really interested in you they will start to learn, care, understand; and start delivering your wants/needs.”
