Marriage is never easy and it becomes that much harder when you add fame, fortune and ultimately endless temptation into the picture. The marriages of T.I. and Tiny Harris as well as Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have both come with their ups and downs. The respective couples have persevered for better and worse, however, and this week they each just reached the milestone of a decade of marriage.
In a post to her hubby on Saturday (August 1), Keys celebrated their love and happiness together.
“My love, you are my dream come true!!” she wrote on Instagram. “You always make me smile. You make me laugh and think and grow and dream and reach and stretch and I am in awe of our love! 10 joiiiwwnnntttttttzzzzzzz!!!!!! It’s so fast bc it’s so much fun! and so true and real and genuine! I adore you!!! Here’s to so much more of the greatness we create together!!! Deeply appreciating and loving every moment.”
In the comments, Swizz echoed similar sentiments before making a post of his own.

“Feels like 10 weeks,” he commented with eye and heart emojis. “Wow wow wow‼️ Let’s Keep going Queen Love you.”
Tip and Tiny welcomed their milestone on Friday (July 31), commemorated with a lengthy post from T.I. on Instagram. While telling his wife of ten years he’d rather struggle with her than “shine effortlessly” with anyone else, the Grand Hustle rapper broke down why their relationship works for them through thick and thin.
“Happy 10th anniversary to my homie, lover, everything‼️ @majorgirl WE MADE A DIME‼️” he began. “…We’re all just waking up everyday trying to figure this sh*t out‼️ How to fulfill ourselves while remaining committed? How to become tenacious about making your husband/wife happy without losing yourself? How to support their dreams without killing your own? The answer (for US at least) was finding ways to make their happiness…your happiness. Find pleasure in pleasing each other so we seldom have to focus on pleasing ourselves,” Tip continued. “I know you’ve endured some circumstantial unpleasantries on this ride & so have I… but struggles, flaws & all I wouldn’t trade our ride for the world‼️ Cause it produced the pain that brought US understanding (Alexa play Xscape) & with no struggle there’s no progress…To be honest…I’d rather struggle with you, than shine effortlessly with anyone else.”

And while she knew she didn’t write a caption “that would out do” her wordsmith husband, Tiny poured her heart out for Tip as well. Check out her post below.
