We Wed..Now What?

Today is exactly 1 year and 1 day since I posted my last post, 'Being Wed'. And what a year it has been! We got married officially... 6 months and 6 days ago! It was a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends.. nothing better we could have asked for! But..at the end of the day, when it was finally over...we breathed a sigh of relief coz honestly.. planning a wedding is hard! Period.

So, after we got married...many people we met would always ask..."how's married life?" And we'd always say.. it's good.. or its great.. or we're enjoying it and so forth. Don't get me wrong... all true words... we love being married..we enjoy each other's company.. I honestly can't imagine being anything but married. But.. as is life, there's the lingering question very few are brave enough to ask.. "how are you coping with married life?"

You see.. being married is not all rosey.. there will be moments when you will get into each others nerves! You will fight...you will make each other sad.. you might even be mean to each other. But in the midst of all that.. you should always make sure you come back to each other and the sooner, the better!

I mentioned in my previous post that the same effort you take in planning a wedding..should be the same (and even double or triple) effort you take in making your marriage work. These words have never been truer! Marriage I have learnt is a daily choice.. where you intentionally choose your spouse over and over again above all that's going on around you. Trust me.. its not easy.. but when you make that your daily goal.. your lives become happier.

So as for the "now what?"... we're choosing each other daily...we're taking one day at a time.. and yes.. we're making our marriage work!
