We are new at this marriage thing. We don’t know what we are doing, really. We aren’t fit to give advice. AT. ALL. We just know we are happy. We are really happy, but marriage takes work (as they say) so we intend to work on it. Even from the beginning. Even now. Even when it’s hard to write marriage resolutions because we can’t think of anything that stands out. Yet. We won’t get lazy with this, though. We put the work in before we even need to so it doesn’t feel like work. We don’t think it has to be hard all of the time. We want to live the happiest life we possibly can, together. So far, so happy. Hoorah!
Part of the reason we started these Newlywed Posts was to highlight how marriage matters more than the wedding. More importantly, we just think marriage matters in general. It seems as though “marriage” is often talked about pretty negatively. Of course, most of the people coming to our blog are about to get married, so they are just as giddy as we are. But, marriage is a lifelong commitment. Ball-and-chain. There’s a high chance of divorce. Blah. Blah. Blah. We aim for these re-occurring newlywed posts to talk about marriage in a positive light, share bits of our experience, and advice from other couples who know better than we do. We think that you make your own decisions regarding the health of your relationship. We take marriage seriously…meaning, we make each other laugh on a daily basis. We are that serious.
