Married Life

So after 9 months of marriage I am beginning to understand what it means to be a wife. I don't pretend to have it "all together" because I have about 70 more years to figure that out. (God willing.) :) What I do know is that it was not what I expected. Growing up marriage is made to be a fantasy. It is this great experience where everything is happy all the time. I feel like society has created a fantasy environment for girls to believe that their "prince" is coming. In my short-lived experience I now know that this is NOT the case. :-) Don't get me wrong. I love Adam to DEATH but I am not happy all the time. I feel like I was unprepared for the way marriage actually is. I was expecting this "perfect" guy that would know exactly what I needed and was there to serve my every waking desire. The crazy thing is, I never considered the fact that a guy would be searching for a girl to do the same thing. When these two get married there is a lot of chance for disappointment, because they are both expecting the same. Adam and I have done a lot of learning these past few months. We have learned how to love, have patience, take care of each other, but yet have our needs met. It has been a struggle. It has been tough. But we are learning how to love each other and bless each other. It has been a blessing!
