end feb.. and we have attended 4 weddings already! the truth is this: i am happier for a couple that has gotten married than one that is getting married.
of course you have to do the latter to get to the "being married".
there are so many perks of marriage compared to dating (assuming the couple isn't living together already).
like the fact that planning of your biggest personal life event is OVER!! no more planning! no more details! i thought i would make a pretty good wedding planner but evidently not.. i am so happy it's over for me.
living together with the person you have committed yourself to also a lot of fun. it can be heaven and well, sometimes hell, all in one. who said it had to become boring? no more hours spent travelling to send each other home and you get to really do life together, especially when living without parents. a sense of humour helps make discussions on chores and mundane things, like the limit of sheets of toilet paper per toilet visit, quite funny and less frustrating (these costs add up okay).
having a house to keep is also lots of fun. sure i have interior design background but it is the house keeping that's keeping me on my toes and it has to be done ever so frequently! i think it would shock my family that i can no longer live in too much mess and i prefer washing the dishes myself after cooking (to prevent cross contamination). thankfully titus is very systematic and gives me many "now why didn't i think of that?" solutions to neaten my substandard neatness.
and then you can have babies if you want and we are looking forward to our little babe on the way! I'm enjoying baby prep much more than wedding prep even though i cannot even begin to imagin what parenthood will entail.
so.. 10 months in and i will be first to admit that it hasn't always been easy or smooth sailing. we have had sweet days and days we were so close to murder. but i do look at the things written above and thank God that He carries us through daily. that there are so many fresh lessons all the time.
there are 3 things i've learnt that help to minimise the bad days that i'll write about soon :)
