And it begins...

Well... I'm married now. It's weird... but cool. Absolutely everything about my life has changed from living with a man to having to buy toothpaste twice as often. It's an adjustment, to say the least. I thought I was prepared going into marriage... now I just laugh at myself. I think God gives us marriage to reveal the Gospel to us in a deeper way we would ordinarily miss. Also to give us a better understanding of how hopeless we are and that ONLY JESUS can heal us in our brokenness. Don't worry, I'm not going to go into deep life lessons of a married woman because it's only been a little over 3 months and I'm sure I know nothing compared to what I will in a year. (The thought almost frightens me, but not entirely.) However, here are a few things I have learned...


1) No matter how hard it is, resist the urge to run to your dad every time you are sad. That's your husband's place now.


2) Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT expect him to understand why you suddenly burst into tears out of the blue... It will end in more tears and learning that men don't read minds.


3) DO NOT NAG. Even if you think you aren't nagging... You probably are.


4) Strongly encourage him to have some time just to himself, it will payoff in the end. Promise.


5) When he farts, don't breathe through your mouth... VERY bad idea.
