Maybe it's cuz Chris and I dated for so long before marriage and were SO open and real with each other (I'm talking fighting, farting, crying, weird eating habits, and the whole ten yards of things that some couples with short dating periods may not have been exposed to).........
Or maybe it's cuz we established good patterns of married people earlier on in our dating career (we read scriptures together, prayed together, spent time away from each other on a regular basis {functional married couples DO have alone time contradictory to teenage belief}, got to know each other's families, etc, etc from nearly the start of our relationship).........
Or maybe still it's just because everyone feels this way once they're married.....
Whatever the reason may be, and although marriage and living together has been an adjustment, living with Chris hasn't been very different. It feels like a natural extension of our previous pre-marital relationship.
Moving in and combining all of our stuff was a challenge (the pack-rat married the least object-sentimental woman he knew.. It's been fun) and I haven't enjoyed his messes nor he my anal cleanliness. And we've had our fair share of heated discussions over how we treat one another (our love languages don't match up and that has proved more difficult now that it's just the two of us).
But ya know
It just feels like real life.
And ain't real life grand??
