1 year wedding anniversary
One year ago today I got married to Brendan. I can’t believe it’s already been a year. I’ve learned quiet a few things about marriage.
1. Marriage is a work-in-progress. There is a reason there are so many divorces in this day and age. Marriage isn’t easy all the time. Marriage takes work, by both parties, but the rewards are absolutely wonderful.
2. Marriage has taught me how to appreciate one another. Most relationships I was in before I met my husband were pretty one sided. I was in love with them, and they were in love with themselves. Thus, the balance of the relationship wasn’t exactly on par. It take work on both sides, to appreciate each other for what they contribute no matter how big or small.
3. Marriage has taught me how to compromise. No two people are always going to agree on everything. It’s true, not even the happiest married couples. Being an only child I’ve never really had to “share” before or give over some control I’d otherwise hold onto. The only answer to avoid a crash course disaster was to compromise. It’s performed miracles.
4. Marriage is forever. I truly believe that. Unless being physically or emotionally abused in some way, any and all problems can be fixed and worked out in the end. I get great comfort in knowing that 5, 10, 20 years down the road I might not know where I will be in life, but I know my husband will be with me.
We got a wonderful card from my Mother, and my in-laws have called to wish us well. Happy Anniversary Brendan! And may we have happy years ahead
