It’s not every day that you get a glimpse into the heart of a power couple like Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. But when you do, it’s nothing short of magical. As the couple recently marked a significant milestone in their ten years of marriage, Gabrielle Union wrote down a message for her beau Dwayne Wade, as the couple chose to share a moment that perfectly encapsulates their journey.

In a heartfelt Instagram post Gabrielle Union, Wade’s wife and an accomplished actress, shared her reflection on their decade together. “10 years of having a very long, very fun, very loving, never-ending sleepover with my homie, lover, partner, and best friend,” Union wrote, capturing the essence of their relationship in a way that felt both personal and universally relatable.

She went on to recount the journey they’ve shared, saying, “Through sickness and health, crisis and celebrations, through bad golf days and flubbed lines and new adventures… We stand united and we thrive. 10 toes down, 10 years in, forever to go.”

During the celebration, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade could be seen donning coordinated all-white outfits, symbolizing unity. The event was intimate, focusing on the depth of their relationship rather than extravagant displays. They shared romantic moments, aboard a yacht. Adding to the special occasion, their daughter Kaavia also played a role in the celebration, with a video slideshow featuring Shania Twain’s “Still The One,” which moved her to tears.

This reflection on ten years together is more than just a milestone. In 2015, when Wade and Union marked their first year as a married couple, their first anniversary had an essence of newness and exploration as they managed the early steps of their life together. Union shared how marriage had deepened their relationship, helping them to understand each other on a more profound level.

It was a quiet party, focused on the intimacy of their bond rather than the public spotlight they so often share. On their fifth anniversary, they took to social media to share memories, with Union posting several throwback pictures and Wade showing his love in a heartfelt message. That year, the couple also renewed their vows in secret service, a reaffirmation of the promises they made to each other.

For one anniversary, Wade surprised Union with a luxurious getaway, a chance for the duo to ditch public lives and focus on each other. It was during these private times that their bond grew. Not through grand actions, but through the simplicity of being together.

The secret to a happy marriage like the Wades

Gabrielle Union and Wade have shared their secret on what has made their marriage work over the years. In an interview with People magazine, they stressed the value of mutual support, communication, and acceptance. Wade stated that knowing each other’s needs and supporting personal growth is key. He sees his role as being part of Gabrielle’s evolution, knowing when to lead, step back, or stand side by side.

Gabrielle reaffirmed these concepts, stressing the importance of humility and listening in their relationship. Both have learned from previous encounters and are committed to being more collaborative and fair in their marriage. Dwayne Wade’s unwavering support has been particularly important for Gabrielle, especially during tough times like her departure from America’s Got Talent. This deep mutual respect and understanding have been important to their lasting relationship.
