Things we have learned throughout the last 100 days of marriage….
1. Communication is Key
We know that this is always said, but really communication is key. It’s easy to get off the same page. It’s easy to forget to say something. Life is hectic, but prioritize time to communicate, check in, and listen.
2. Your marriage only matters as much as you make it matter
We all have heard it all before, marriage is just a piece a paper or it's just a ring, a name change. That it doesn’t change anything…in reality, it shifts the whole dynamic of self and purpose. Your marriage is your foundation of the family you are creating and a spiritual binding as one with God, it’s not meant to be undermined as just another step in life. The value you place on it is not up to others to validate, it's your decision.
3. Singleness is not selfish
Keep investing in your alone time, in yourself. You can only love others after loving yourself. You can only pour into others after pouring into yourself. Your marriage depends on how good you are by yourself and as a team
4. Intentional Investments
Be intentional with EVERYthing. Your words, date nights, intimacy, gifts etc. Do everything with a purpose and don’t get comfortable. A fire has to be tended or it will go out
5. Compromising not sacrificing
Sacrifice is such a negative word. “I sacrificed this for you.” it can easily lead to resentment. You are compromising for the greater good of your marriage and relationship. Remember that.
Weather you’re married, dating, or single we hope that sharing our lessons learned help you out as we all do our best in navigating love and life.
