Going on 5 months of marriage.... and it's been interesting

 So, it's been 5 months since the wedding, and I enjoy every day with my husband.  His quirks, my quirks, our small discussions about things, and of course the never ending load of dishes. LOL.  All in good time. My sister-in-law (my husband's twin's wife) told me last night that their first year was the hardest, and I'm getting the picture as to why.  It's a time to define who you are as a couple- what you are and how you integrate that into your marriage and your relationships with the families and what you will and won't do in order to please someone else. 

Marriages are never "Happily Ever After" but rather a start of a new journey- one to bond with a partner, build dreams and goals together.  And maneuvering through the other relationships in the family.  It's tough, but there's no where in the Bible that states marriage was easy, etc.  If you love and respect each other, it will go a hole lot smoother.
