Can't believe we are already coming up on 8 months of marriage!
Time has flown by, and I know its not going to slow down.
As I was cleaning today I started to reflect on what I've learned,
and am continuing to learn,
on this crazy awesome journey into marriage.
Some things I've learned so far:
- Marriage is hard work!
- It's so worth all the work.
- Combining two lives is tricky.
- His "clean" will NEVER be my "clean."
- Boys are messy.
- I'm way more OCD than I ever realized.
- It's awesome to come home to my best friend on a daily basis.
- Waking up to your best friend is the best.
- Sometimes you run out of things to say. And its ok!
- We annoy the heck out each other at times.
- Compromise is key.
- Its all about giving, and less taking.
- We are both stubborn as mules.
- Combining finances is "interesting."
- Communication is vital.
- Speaking the "truth in love" works.
- Fighting makes me extremely nervous, but sometimes you just have to.
- Neither of us is going anywhere.
- We are both "in til the end."
- Having time with friends apart from one another is very important.
- Having common interests makes things so much more enjoyable.
- Having personal space is still important.
- Having time alone is sometimes necessary.
- "Dating" each other is a must.
- Trust is vital.
- Honesty really is the best policy. On all subjects.
- Expecting the other to meet your expectations will almost always let you down. (Or cause serious frustration.)
- Pick your battles!
- Sometimes you just "gotta let it go."
- Neither of us is perfect.
- Keeping God as our center is vital.
- Having faith & praying for each other constantly is vital.
- I'm blessed to get to do "life" with him.
- Learning each others "love language" is key.
- Words of affirmation (his) & quality time (mine) are ours.
- Laughing, hugs, snuggles & kisses really are the best medicine for your soul!
We are still so new to this adventure.
I'm constantly looking for new things and ways to help me along.
I would LOVE words of wisdom!
