I always feel reflective around birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones. I am about to celebrate 6 years of marriage with my husband and it got me thinking about what I had learned since my wedding day. So without further ado I give you…
Six Things I have learned in Six years of Marriage:
- Stuff gets real fast, there is a reason fairy tales cut off after the wedding, no one wants to see Cinderella and Prince Charming hashing out the budget.
- Communication: learn about it. It’s not just talking.
- Let go of your expectations, learn to work with what you got, not what you thought you got.
- Have kids if you want to re-learn about communication, but while you are exhausted.
- Time spent apart to pursue things you each enjoy is a good thing for your relationship.
- Weekly time together aka a date night is important to reconnect and communicate, especially if you have kids.
All that I have learned about marriage in 6 years can be summed up in one word: communication. With each new change or challenge in our lives, my husband and I have had to talk it through. It’s not always easy, it’s sometimes difficult and awkward, but it’s a relief when we done and feel closer together.
What’s something that you have learned during your marriage?
