Happy Thursday Guys!!<\/em><\/p>\n

I was combing through my drafted posts for today’s throwback and I discovered one I had started back when I was a Newly-New-Newlywed (HA!). I was a month in the game and was starting to see the light. Somethings have definitely changed now that we are over a year in but lets just focus on my thoughts at the time…\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost a month into a marriage I have to say that it has treated me well. Not sure how much I can share but I will run through what I can.<\/p>\n

10 Revelations About Being Married… For a Month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Note: Of course I have to be real with you- This post was never finished so there are only 6…*Covers Face*<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your feelings for your husband\/wife will change. <\/span>Obviously in a good way. I think now that he is my husband, it is more intense.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You are now obligated to pack your husbands lunch for work. <\/span>Before, I could get away with this as he was still living the bachelor life BUT NOW\u2026 lol<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u201cYour money\u201d is now \u201cOur money\u201d. I mean, I knew this before and started working towards it after our engagement but it got real for a minute. I wanted to buy a particular bag last week and Mr. said NO! Don\u2019t misinterpret this; after the wedding, comes reality. Reality means that we have bills to pay and WE have to pay them.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Communication is Key. This is true in any relationship\u2026 business, friendships etc. \u00a0But it is a little different since getting married. Because most of our lives were separate, lapses in communication could slide without notice. Now a lapse in communication could mean, double groceries in the house or no groceries at all. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Responsibilities should be but are not always equally shared. I am better at somethings than he is and vice versa. If we split everything down the middle, we wouldn\u2019t have the best.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Marriage weight is real. I lost a few pounds during the planning phases of the wedding but after the wedding\u2026 I did not care. I ate bread like I drank water<\/del> juice.\u00a0Even after cautioning, I still found myself eating larger portions than before. One night, I finished a regular sized entr\u00e9e. That never happens. Even with salads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is where I stopped… What revelations did you have during your first month- or even year- of marriage? When can you consider yourself a marriage vet and how soon can I add that title to my resume?<\/p>\n

    Don’t forget to keep up with me on Instagram <\/a>and Youtube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
