The Married Life

Ever since I was little I thought that being married meant entering a completely new world. Everything was different when you got married. For some odd reason, when I got engaged that idea went away completely. I was so caught up in the idea of always being with my best friend night and day that I was absolutely thrilled! (Especially since we lived 10 hours apart during our engagement). But as the wedding came closer and closer I began to have those thoughts again. Is my life going to drastically change? Am I going to change as a person? Do I know what I'm really getting into?! At points I would panic thinking these thoughts. I realized I knew nothing about the married life. This didn't change my decision to get married, but it sure got me thinking! 

After a few weeks of thinking what it meant to be married, and the commitment that it entails, I began to understand that marriage isn't a completely different world to live in. It's putting your spouse first and supporting them in everything they do. It's giving up yourself to make this person the happiest they can be and in return, they give up themselves to make you the happiest you can be. It's amazing! While realizing this I had no fear. "This will be easy!" I kept telling myself...and boy is it!...ha. 

Now that I'm married I understand that I really didn't comprehend what marriage was, neither did I completely comprehend what kind of commitment it is. I forgot that I was no longer first, I forgot that work and school were no longer the first priority, and I forget that I had to ask my spouse for his opinion before inviting someone over or other miscellaneous things. However, there were sweet blessings that come from marriage that bless me every day of my life. Some days they are different than others, but I know I will always have someone to turn to, someone that I can share all of my feelings with, someone who I will always be able to share my love with. 

I know I have a lot to learn, especially since I have hardly experienced the married life, but I do know that I have a far greater appreciation for married couples and those that make their lives fit together. In a way, it is living a completely different life. Priorities change, life changes, a new world is created.
