I haven't even completed blog posts about the wedding and stuff, but I feel like I should answer this question right now since every time I meet someone, it's the first thing I'm asked.
"How's married life?"
Okay, yesterday was our one month anniversary and I totally forgot. I only remembered this morning because I tried to sleep in after 9am and couldn't. The irritation drove me to think about work and all the days that I have to work this week. That drove me further to try to remember what day it is. I thought it was the 24th.
24th??? Hmmm.... Why does that date sound so familiar?
OHHH!!!
*hurries to text Jerry that yesterday was our one month anniversary*

But really, I know he forgot and I know he knows that I forgot as well and we both don't really care haha.
That's kind of how married life is like. It's pretty much like how life was before we were married; just that we get to sleep together in the same room every night now.
What that means is:
An extra hour of sleep for the man
(He doesn't have to send me home every night and then send himself home after that.)
We have to solve every argument/issue like right away

(If not... there'll be NO SLEEPING HERE TONIGHT NO, NO SLEEPING HERE TONIGHT)
No space for me to roll around
No space for me to roll around
(Because space is limited when you share a bed with someone)
Unlimited cuddle time
(That is, until the man demands sleepy time)
We don't threaten each other with undertones of "breaking up" anymore (yeah we, Christian, adults, are still capable of that) because well, we took a vow and we know it came with a No Return policy. So these days, it sounds more like us being on the same team and trying to work it out together because we both know... there could be NO SLEEPING HERE TONIGHT NO and of course it hurts to see the other party upset.
Truthfully, it is way more upsetting to see your partner upset than to just be upset. And interestingly, the two of those events aren't mutually exclusive. He gets upset when he sees me being upset and vice versa. We have had to pray through these moments when we get stuck in our "you're upset so I'm upset NO I'M UPSET BECAUSE YOU'RE UPSET". It's miserable to be stuck in there and only God can pull us out of it.
But really, married life is great.
That is, if you are willing to endure the agony of having to swallow your pride 24/7/365.
