Daniel and I have been married a year today. In some ways, that year has been an eternity. In some ways it has absolutely flown by. I don't want to pretend that marriage is perfect or easy. It's certainly not. Marriage has changed us and stretched us. But today is not the day for that discussion. Today, I want to share why marriage is absolutely, without a doubt, amazing.
My Favorite Things About Being Married:
// Having a partner
// Saying prayers together before we sleep
// Getting completely spoiled on your birthday (and I do mean completely)
// Having someone who supports you through everything
// Morning cuddles
// Afternoon cuddles
// Evening cuddles
// Loving someone so much it makes your heart hurt
// Watching movies together before bed
// Someone to make big decisions with
// Doing Bible study together
// Someone to calm you when you have bad dreams
// Eating junk food and staying up late together
// Weekly date nights
// Someone to challenge you to grow spiritually
// Sharing drinks at Starbucks
// Taking care of each other
// Grocery shopping together
// Having someone to help with dinner and dishes
// Surprises!
// Having someone to take trips with
// Someone that you can dress up for!
// Giving each other back massages
// Sleepovers every night
// Having beautiful wedding pictures to hang up
// Casually using the phrase "my husband" in conversation
// Dreaming about the future
// Kissing
// Always having someone to say goodbye too
// Taking long walks together in the evening
// Having someone there to share your favorite activities with
// Sharing your biggest fears and them not seeming so scary anymore
// Celebrating monthiversaries
// Being as weird as can be and knowing he still loves you
// Working out together
// Sharing an email address
// Learning to put someone else first and be less selfish
// Getting breakfast in bed
// Laughing together
// Spending the rest of your life together
... and that is why marriage is so wonderful. Thanks Daniel for being the best husband I could ask for. Happy 1 year!
