Having only been married just about a year I definitely don't know everything there is to know about marriage but I have learned so much. Our relationship has grown so much more than I thought it would.
When starting a marriage together there were so many little things to work out. We both were in school and working so we spent limited time together. Over time this began to effect our relationship. I was so exhausted by the end of the day that I just wanted to chill on the couch before heading to bed. This meant that we spent less and less time talking. As soon as we noticed that we were becoming more short and or irritated with each other we decided something needed to change.
Once we reflected on our relationship we realized that we do better when we take the time to show interest and hear about what the other has done throughout the day. We just needed to put more effort with true intent to our relationship. I have noticed that when we take advantage of our time together we are in a much better place in our relationship. Overtime this has become a natural habit that we do. When the other walks in the door we greet each other with a kiss and take time to talk and catch up after a busy day. Doing this helps the other person feel valued and heard. We also have made it a point to have date night once a week. This has also been fun for us to be creative together to come up with dates that are inexpensive. It's all about spending the time together and enjoying each other's company.
Date night to the fair over summer
