It has been 6 months of marriage, friends. I expected to have tons to tell you about it, but I don’t have much to say so the roomie took over and wrote this post for me! He’s the best. That’s a perfect example of how marriage is going so far.🥰 Take the wheel, honey.
Every time someone has asked me over the last 6 months how married life is going, I usually respond with “Well, it’s a lot like engaged life!” Because it’s true, for the most part. Our living situation hasn’t changed, we still love spending time with each other, still support each other, and still go to bed every night with a kiss and an “I love you.” Things are good.
What has changed? Some small stuff like combining bank accounts, wearing a wedding ring, Anna’s last name (still getting used to that), and other random stuff. People say that marriage is hard for a multitude of reasons, but I think at the end of the day what can make marriages hard (besides external things beyond our control) is that people change.
People change every day. Think about where you were 1, 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years ago. I think most people would say that 10+ years ago they were very different people, even though I think at the core a person is relatively constant. So, have Anna and I changed in the last 6 months? Sure, we have. Change isn’t bad or good—it’s just change! Bear with me as I know I’ve only been at this for 6 months, but I think the key to marriage is embracing your spouse as they change and remembering to always “get to know” your spouse better than you had the day before.
Here’s a highlight film of us 6 months (+ 6 days) ago when we stood up in front of our people and said we’d choose each other forever! We are still in awe of our wedding day and love reflecting on it together. Let us know what you think of our snowy wedding video! đź’•

You are so correct. You also need God in your marriage and to remember to love them at all times. You may not always like them, but as long as you still love them things will be ok. We’ve been married 24 years in September together 26. He is my best friend, my love, my everything! The one I want to tell everything to and can’t wait to see at the end of the day. Marriage is hard but so worth the work
