And you wanted to hear about: Being married

Because of the overwhelming response to my last post (or not) I decided to take all of those suggestions and run with it.

Suggestion #1 from a friend via text: talk about married life.

Here is what I thought about that: Really? You want to know what I think about being married. Okay, here you have it.

Many people gave me advise, whether I asked or not, about what it is like to be married. I listened and thought it was interesting to hear what everyone had to say. But really they were all mostly wrong, at least thus far. Some said it would difficult, it would take lots of work, it will make you fight, it will be just the same as it is now. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Let me first say that for some people maybe this is what it looks like, not for us, some people would call it work, but I think more of it as love.

So if someone were to ask me what it is like to be married here is what I would say: It is different. It is a good different. But mostly it is different. There is someone always around and someone who loves me for me and someone who sees the value and necessity of giving it all to God.

Moral of the story: I am thankful to be in this stage of life with this amazing man.

Suggestion #2: Well there was only the one suggestion.
