Looking Back on Three Years of Marriage

Wednesday, May 30, 2012


My hubby and I have been together five years now and married for three of those wonderful years as of yesterday and each year is better than the last. I thought I’d share some of the tid-bits I’ve come to learn throughout “Year Three” during all of our changes and challenges (buying a house, having a baby, family relocating, friends moving and divorcing, etc.). I love that even after 5 years I’m still learning things about my hubby and our relationship with every new day. Take them as pointers or as funny little extras I don’t care, either way I'm still going to share.

Year Three:
  • Always put your marriage 1st—your kids will suffer in a divorce that will not happen if you put your marriage first.
  • If you cannot readily recall or remember your last date night…it’s time for another.
  • Don’t start fights once you’re in bed…sleep will never come
  • Words mean more than flowers, but flowers mean more than nothing
  • If by 3 years you’ve never lost a fight…it’s time to.  Being right isn’t always alright.
  • If after 3 years he still doesn’t fold his socks… he isn’t going to. Give it up because you need to…...(see next)
  • Pick your battles…they are not all worth it.
  • Hold hands as often as you can
  • Always have a WORKING bathroom vent
  • Men work best with a “to-do list”
  • Wire hangers don’t warrant the energy for a fight, GET RID OF THEM!
  • Always try to out-serve each other—you won’t regret it!
  • If you have kids, pray over them nightly together, and lastly…
  • Pray together often.
MEMO TO MOM: Have more date nights.
