4 Things I Learned During Our First Year of Marriage

With our one year wedding anniversary coming up this weekend (Can you believe that it's already been a year ), I wanted to share 4 things that I have learned during our first year of marriage.

1) What is obvious to you, is not always obvious to your spouse

Even though we dated for 2 years, were engaged for a year, and have been married a year - neither of us are mind readers. If you need something, or don't need something, you need to say something.

2) Men and Women Communicate differently

Agreeing to disagree is fine, and sometimes for the best in your marriage. We communicate about everything and agree on a lot, but some things are viewed differently and that is okay. I have learned that it is always about communicating and making your voice heard and opinion known, and it isn't always about agreeing.

3) Always put your husband and your marriage first

Point blank period. Marriage is sacred and should be treated as such. It is a gift from God and requires daily attention. Life doesn't stop because you have gotten married, so it is important to remember that through your hectic schedules, responsibilities, children, deadlines, and distractions, that your husband and your marriage are always your top priority.

4) You're never alone

One of my favorite things about our marriage is the fact that we are a team. Your struggles are his struggles. His joys are your joys. It is one of the best and most fulfilling feelings to know that you never have to go through any happiness or hardship alone.
