I have been married for 1 and half years (well it technically it came Sunday)! There I was sitting on the couch staring at the TV hubs next to me and I was like whoa, we have been married for a year and half! Where did the time go? I realized how fast time flies when you are super busy (you totally thought I was going to say having fun...) The truth is, marriage is work people.... It's an everyday job. You do not get vacation or a free day. You have to constantly be an active part of your relationship.
This is not a friend who you can go weeks without talking to and simply pick up where you left off. Its not that winter coat or sandals that come out once a season. Marriage is 365-24/7. I am constantly learning things about my husband and myself (ya after 6 years we are still learning) and its great. As we both grow and change we have adapted--sometimes this adaption is easier than others, but we have done it together.
We have endured moves, job changes, slow times, fast times, families, and stress. But through it all we have learned how to communicate better and I believe our relationship is stronger than ever. Sure we have our moments, I mean don't we all? But at the end of the day or week, we know that we have each other's back and each other's best interest in mind. It's the time when we are on the couch, not saying anything, but we both know what each other is thinking, because in our home, love is the unwavering language.
Happy 1.5 anniversary to you dear! Love the picture, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for putting marriage into perspective. Hearing marriage is work is so refreshing to me, because I now KNOW when I get married it's not all rainbows and butterflies.
Best wishes for you and your hubby!
