My husband and I will be reaching the half mark in a few weeks and it’s weird to say that I’ve been married almost six months. It doesn’t seem like it but it does. We’ve got somewhat of a routine of what groceries to get and how much to spend. Bills are paid on the same day every month. We try to spend time with our families how much as we can and we make time for ourselves. One daily lesson that I’m constantly learning is compromise and sacrifice. It’s no longer about me or what I want or what I need. It’s about us as a unit, a pair as one. That phrase used to confuse me. I use to tell people I’m already one so why do I need to find another to make a pair just to say we’re one. I understand that when we took those vows, I have his back and he has my back. If he decides to rob a bank, I’m driving the get away car. When I’m writing my children’s book and need some inspiration, he will take me to a playground or a library. If I want broccoli and he wants cheese potatoes, we’ll have cheesy broccoli. We take care of each other as husband and wife and try to make sure the other is happy. If he’s not happy, then I’m not and vice versa. I now understand that phrase and make it a goal every day to give 100% to him.
*For any law enforcement reading this blog, he and I do not plan to rob a bank, woman of her purse, man of his bike, squirrel of his or her nuts, etc. That was merely an example that I say to my husband all the time when talking about our love as one. :)
