Nearly eight years in the past, Russell Wilson and Ciara tied the knot on July 6, 2016. In honor of their wedding ceremony anniversary, Wilson jumped on-line to profess his love for the “Goodies” singer. The NFL quarterback shared a compilation of touching moments between him, Ciara, and their kids.

“From the moment I met you, I knew God was showing me the way,” Wilson wrote. “Every day since has been a reflection of His grace—full of love, laughter, purpose, and the kind of partnership I used to pray for.”

Wilson added, “Happy Anniversary, my queen @ciara, You light up my life in ways words can’t explain. Here’s to the journey we’ve walked…and the one we’re still writing together. I love you, endlessly. [heart emoji]”

Earlier this yr, Ciara stopped by Summer Walker’s “Over It” Radio and shared a number of guidelines that have allowed her marriage to thrive with Russell Wilson.

“I would say communication rules a nation. What I will give my husband a lot of credit for is that he can communicate really well. And I think maybe it’s the quarterback in him because he’s big on leadership, big on teamwork, big on being together,” Ciara stated.

While she admitted that she may be cussed and “spicy and feisty typically, “communication is a prime precedence. Along with communication, Ciara acknowledged that courting in her marriage is crucial.

“I really feel grateful for our ability to communicate with each other. Because I feel like there’s nothing I can’t go to him about,” she continued. “And even if we have to find our way through it in the conversation, I feel very confident we’re going to make it on the other side.”

“We have our precious babies, and that’s a lot. And me, doing everything that I’m trying to do every day. Grinding and the hustle,” Ciara stated. “Then he’s also doing his thing and grinding. I think sometimes you can get monotonous if you don’t look up and pay attention. And so we are very committed to date night.”
