The last eight months of my life has been full of ups and downs. In my eight months of marriage been really strange and full of amazing and life changing experiences.
In the first eight months of our marriage we have had 6 different jobs, and a house fire that caused us to be homeless for two months. Some additional financial expenses like new winter tires and a new wind shield. Money is also so tight that we cannot afford certain 1st world pluses.
I love my married life and it is absolutely marvelous. And it's is so fun to always have your most truest and bestest friend beside you at all times. The person who sees you for who you are and loves you despite the mistakes that you have made. Marriage gives you the opportunity to constantly serve another and to sacrifice for them.
There has been ups and downs and nights of tears but I have learned so much about myself and about my spouse. I have learned more about who I am and my capacity to love and to be loved. I thought I loved my husband the day we were married but I truthfully love him more today than I did on our sealing day.
Being married is more complex than I first thought. You are getting used to being around someone that you have never lived with before. You learn how each other work and what makes the other person happy and what ticks them off. I have been learning what it means to truly love someone more than I love myself. And that sort of love fills you and mashes you want to be a better person. Your partner WILL NOT change your behaviors. I have learned that the love that I have for my husband changes my behaviour.
I have also learned that you cannot always fix things when someone is sad. Sometimes all you can do is hold them.
I love my husband and love being married. Even though the last few months have had is mountains to climb it has brought us closer together. I truly love him more and more every day. Sometimes life is hard and throws you curve balls. And I am grateful that I have my best and truest friend by my side for time and all eternity.
