Marriage. Some people think it’s just this thing that two people do when they love each other. Marriage is so much more than just loving someone so much that you want to be with them for the rest of your life. Yes, that’s part of it, but that’s not the whole thing.
Marriage isn’t always easy. There will be arguments and disagreements; there will be awesome moments and times with your spouse, too. Marriage is work. A lot of people think that once you’re married, you’re free to do whatever you want to do. Well, 1) kinda, but not really. Because now you have a lifelong partner to talk with and communicate with, and if you’re not in ‘sync’ with them, then comes a lot of miscommunication – which is not a good thing.
Yes, Marriage is an awesome thing! I love marriage! It’s also important that you find the right person! You get in a relationship to learn more about that person, and don’t just ‘date’ to date and mess around, date with the purpose or intention of marriage.
Marriage is getting up early for work, possibly coming home later, working extra hours, paying bills, making dinner, cleaning house, sleeping (unless you have a baby!😜), it’s not just living with another person. You have to work. Communicate with that person. If you don’t communicate, what happens? It can start in nonending arguments and fights, and usually ends in divorce…which is not a good or a happy thing.
When Brandon and I met, I had no idea that we would be where we are now. But I couldn’t be more thankful for who God has given me! And He blessed us with a beautiful baby girl! She brightens up our lives so much! She may wake us up at night, but she won’t be this little forever.
When I look at Brandon, I can’t help but think how lucky and blessed I am. God really does give you the best! And He gave me the best when He gave me Brandon! ❤️
I kind of never thought I’d get married and be a mom. I always wished and hoped that I would. And I couldn’t be happier that I am married to Brandon and a mom to our beautiful Anastasia! It’s not always lemons and sunshine, but it is always worth it. All the hardships, all the trials, it makes us stronger together. * That makes me think of the Superman/Supergirl symbol- that means “Stronger Together”. 😝 but seriously, Brandon and I have grown so much since we got married, even since we met. We have grown stronger together, and because God brings us even closer than I thought we already were.
God shows us new things every day. His mercies are new every morning. He gives us so much more than we deserve. 
I can talk to Brandon about things that I never thought I’d really be able to talk to anyone about. I’m so thankful for the man He gave me in Brandon! I can trust him with everything.
If you can’t trust each other, than why did you marry in the first place? Trust is a very important quality in a relationship, whether it’s just a friendship or more than a friendship.
Brandon and I have been through a lot while being together, but like I said earlier, we come out even stronger together! I cannot wait to see him with Anna (Anastasia) as she grows up, and our (Lord-willing) future children! God has been so good to us! There are struggles, but God is always there.
I see Brandon with our little girl and my heart just melts. She smiles the biggest smile towards him, and I just…I tear up (happy tears) just thinking about it! It is a perfect and awesome moment to catch and just treasure forever. He says I take a lot of pictures, which I do- I admit! But when we look back at all the pictures I take, he’ll be thanking me! 😝
Marriage is a beautiful thing! I am so so thankful for Brandon! I couldn’t imagine being married to anyone else! He really is the one for me! Forever and always! 
I know this blog post was a little on the mushy and sappy side this time, but there are just too many marriages breaking, and a reason is because people just don’t care anymore. They don’t care about the important things anymore. They just care about what they want, and once they get it, they’re done. They can’t and/or won’t commit to just ONE person. I have found my one person, and will forever be my one person! We have learned so much, and we are still learning things about each other!
I am so proud of my husband, he has gone through so much, and he’s still strong, and still going forward. We have tough times in life, tough and toxic relationships, but we get through. Sometimes we stay with the toxic relationships, even though we know we should get out of it, but we have our reasons for staying. Such as, “It’s been so long, I don’t want to feel like I wasted all that time, just to start all over again.” – that one was me. I know it wasn’t wasted time, although it may feel like it, but even though it was different, I did learn and grow through it. I have been so blessed with Brandon! I know I’ve said that a lot, but it’s so true.
I know this post is a bit long, and if you’ve read the whole thing, thank you! It’s just a little bit of my heart about marriage and relationships. 
If you’re in a relationship you know you shouldn’t be in, for whatever reason, don’t be afraid to get out of it. If you need to, talk to someone, a pastor, a friend who is a good influence and will tell you the truth and won’t sugarcoat things. And get out of there. I’m praying for you. If you need to talk, or need a friend, have prayer requests, don’t hesitate to let me know. Thank you so much for reading!
Have an awesome day! And an awesome weekend! 😊
