Wife's encouraging speech to husband on a day his heart felt "weary" brings tears and hope

"You're not just keeping us afloat—you're thriving us."

By Emily Shiffer

A healthy and supportive marriage is a gift during tough times to provide support and lift each other up. A 2025 Pew Research Center study found that 74% of Americans "would be extremely or very likely to turn to their spouse or partner if they needed emotional support."

And for husband Jason (@dadlifejason), his wife Patience provided him with the love and encouraging words he needed on a hard day. "This was a day my heart was weary and she could feel it," he explained in the video's overlay about their marriage.

"This was a day when I felt like the whole world was on my shoulders and she could sense it," he wrote in the video's caption.

🎴 Why Millennials have single-handedly saved the greeting card business from going under

"It’s always nice when you can tell someone knows you and picked out a card that is your vibe. Makes you feel seen and valued."

By Emily Shiffer

There's something special about receiving a physical, handwritten greeting card. Whether sent by snail mail or attached to a sweet gift, greeting cards are still alive and well in the digital age of communication.

According to the Greeting Card Association (GCA), 6.5 billion greeting cards are purchased annually in the United States. And one generation is to thank for saving the industry: Millennials.

"The millennial generation is now the largest buyers of greeting cards from a dollar standpoint," said George White, Founder of Up with Paper, a pop-up greeting card company, and Past President of GCA, per the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"[Millenials] saved our industry."

👩‍👦 Pedro Pascal's bond with his sister proves that a huge age gap might even make you closer

There's a 17-year spread between them.

By Cecily Knobler

Even movie and TV stars like Pedro Pascal have bad days and self-doubt. Pascal, who has been working steadily for decades but gained extra popularity in recent years for his work in The Last of Us and Gladiator 2, says he faces "existential issues" about being 50. (Rumor has it Pedro even turned down an offer to be People's Sexiest Man Alive.)

Ironically, it's his much younger sister, 33-year-old Lux, who snaps him out of it. The two have a beautiful sibling bond. In an upcoming piece for Elle Magazine, Pedro interviewed Lux and it's clear from the jump that their 17-year age difference is partly what makes their bond so special.

💊 Gen Xers laugh about the 'elderly shizz' they do now on their aging journeys

"I have a damn daily pill holder. You know, with the days of the week?"

By Emily Shiffer

It's no secret that Generation X is getting older. In 2025, Gen X (born between 1965 and 1980) are now between 45-60 years old. And, according to a 2024 study published in The Journals of Gerontology, Gen Xers are living longer than Boomers.

To find humor in their journeys, one aging Gen Xer posed a funny question to his fellow Gen Xers: "What downright elderly shizz you been getting into????"

She went on to explain, "I’ll start. I’ve had to limit alcohol to weekends this last year because there’s no telling how my body will punish me for it…. I might not sleep all night, I might experience heartburn on a level that I might barf, it might be nothing.. in any case I can’t risk it on a weekday. So I decide to get some Valarian root tea and have that as my nightcap. I’ve never liked tea, ever. Like ew no thank you to your tepid lawn water 👎🏻 But valerian is very nice in flavor."
