Being young, maybe not so hard. Being married, can be hard. Being Christian, a challenge every day. Tonight I was searching for a resource...with all my heart and soul. Of the millions of blogs out there, I couldn't find one that resonated with me. That's not to say that there aren't amazing blogs out there, but maybe the best resource I'll find is my own thoughts written down for all the world to see (though I'm not making any promises).
I really didn't know what to expect when I got married. We went to pre-marital counseling and both felt like that really helped us. I aksed friends, relatives and pretty much anyone who would tell me what their best advice and tips were for newlyweds and meticulously tried to follow them. The fact is--our first year of marriage was not at all what I expected. I thought we'd have huge fights, and disagreements, having never lived together before our wedding night! Truth be told, I think I married the last perfect man on the planet. He is kind, loving, sincere, selfless..the list goes on and on. He challenges me to be a better person without saying a word.
I guess I really don't know what I'm saying except this--I WANT to be a wife who honors and respects her husband. I want our marriage to be different...to work. I know that God has given me many commands and guidelines on how to be a better wife. I know I am not perfect, that I'll always be learning, but this is my earnest effort to be better. That's all. I want to be a BETTER young, Christian wife.
