So Marc and I have only been married a month as of this Tuesday (tomorrow), but in my short few weeks I have learned a LOT about marriage. In fact, here are the 10 things I’ve learned from marriage.

1\. **The Little Things.** It doesn’t matter who’s right if you brush first, then floss or floss first, then brush.

2\. **Marc is an amazing cook**.

3. **In sickness and in health**…really means in sickness and in health*.* (We both got the flu on our honeymoon. To the person who gave us the flu at our wedding, we forgive you. But…)

4\. **Owning a home is a lot of work**. There’s endless projects that can occupy our time.

5\. **It’s important to pray together**. Where two or more are gathered. That’s it. Just two.

6\. **Insecurity Sucks.** Any lies I believed when I was single–can come creeping back in if I’m not careful. *Marc does not complete me*. God does. (To all the singles out there: This is the key to your future marriage. Work on you now, BEFORE a relationship. Things don’t just “magically” get better. It’s quite the opposite in fact, especially when you’re married and living together).

7\. **I love my husband** *.*

8\. **Community is important**. No matter if you’re single, dating, or married–we need each other.

9\. **Money Matters**. Pay your debts off now while you can. It’s amazing what you can do together without debt.

10. **Marriage is a series of adjustments.** Some are little. Some are big. There’s a lot I have to learn about marriage and about Marc.
