1st: marriage is hard. Real hard. I knew going into marriage that we would have our struggles, but I never knew it would be this hard. It's ok that it is hard because the both of us are welling to work through our issues and not just quit. Which makes our marriage become better. You really have to learn to think about others first.
Which brings me to my next thing I have learned.
2nd I am selfish. Man I am selfish. In marriage it isn't just about yourself. My selfishness has got me in a bunch of fights with my wife. I think if I wasn't so selfish I would avoid a lot of time wasted fight with my wife. I have learned that I can really improve on how I should put others first. Especially about my wife. That is what's great about marriage it helps you learn a lot about yourself and helps you become the best version of yourself.
3rd: My wife has all sorts of feelings and emotions I never knew about. I have had to work on understanding all of them, and I'm sure there are more to come over the years.
4th: Marriage is fun. No way right?Yeah marriage is fun. It is awesome living with someone you love so much. Experiencing life with someone you care so much about. It is fun making a home with someone. Marriage might be hard, but working through problems and finding solutions brings great joy.
It's is fun waking up to the person you love every morning. It is fun to share meals together. Marriage is fun. Marriage brings me joy.
I think learning 4 things is pretty good. I love my wife and I enjoy my marriage. I look forward to the rest of my time on earth spent with my wife. I hope you find this post interesting, and maybe it helps you think about all the great things you learned early in your marriage. I would be interested in hearing about them.
