Married Month 1: The Change

So after the wedding I just knew life would slow down and we would have time to just relax. The big day had passed so the meant quiet time was here. Not so much. We forgot to factor that no matter what we are both always busy with something. It is just how things work right. We opted to not do a honeymoon but will book a cruise once our bundle is here. That is the thought at least. From opening gifts, work, life, family we are still busy. Marriage didn't change that. Ha

One question that keeps being asked is, "how does it feel being married?" At first we both said it doesn't. We have been together so long that it is really just a continuation of what we had just w the blessing of The Lord and rings. Well I will be the one to recap. As we go though this new journey we are changing. It is officially us against the world and I allow my husband to lead. I have to remember the choices are not mine but ours. So when a question is asked of me I have to go back and check w my husband first. Not because he wants to keep tabs on but because we respect one another. The goes with finances too. It is our money and we have to make realistic decisions with our money so that we reach our goals together. I'm not going on shopping sprees and then being broke. We discuss a budget and then I can go forward w the things I need first then wants. Lastly just letting him lead. I always worried about my husband making decisions for us not because he couldn't but because he can take his time about stuff. Well he has been showing out where it matters and I just embrace whatever he decides and go with it. I will share my thoughts if I see a problem but other than that he has it.

One of the things we learned in counseling is we have a chance to make the marriage we want. It doesn't have to make sense to the world at all. The important thing is that God is the core and we just live in his word together. Nothing is prefect but we make the most of the time and love we have.

With reflection we both understand our decision to be more than just boyfriend and girlfriend is the best decision we have made in a long time. I adore my husband and he gives his all for me. What more could it be? Well we will continue to go forth and see what else life has in store. Just think its just been one month of marriage. Come on next month!

Peace and Blessings.
