Summary
Who you choose to build a life with matters more than anything. To celebrate her 3-year wedding anniversary, Victoria is getting real about the six non-negotiables she believes every relationship needs for long-term success.

From emotional maturity to mutual respect to supporting each other’s dreams, Vic shares the values that make her marriage to Max thrive, with specific examples of how they’ve navigated conflict, improved communication, and made sacrifices to support one another. She also opens up about balancing responsibilities through equitable partnership, handling family dynamics with grace, and why the small, daily ways you show up for your partner matter most. Tune in for a grounded, personal take on what to look for in a partner and how we can all show up better in our relationships!
