Every thing in marriage does not come easy. Being a young married couple we know all about that. Having all odds against us and people wanting us to fail is always fresh on my brain.
In our vows we have for better or for worse. When my husband and I got married, he was 19 and I was 18. We had no idea what we were really getting ourselves into. We don't really listen to the vows that are exchanged. We just want the kiss and to be officially married. I get that. We were the same way. Looking back at our vows we have for better or for worse. Vows are sacred and are meant to be kept. When times get tough, we have to stick it out. We are just now learning how to really communicate with each other. When times got tough I used to think divorce would just be so much better. Now that I look at it I was stupid for ever thinking that.
COMMUNICATE with your partner people! When you are angry with your spouse, don't start talking right away. Make a code word and you two go in separate rooms and think about what you're going to say. If you do that, you won't say things you don't mean. Ours is bubbles if any one was wondering. Talk about things as they come to mind unless you're angry. Communication is key for a successful marriage. People aren't kidding when they tell you this.
When you have all odds against you for being a young family, you just want to prove them all wrong. Getting married so young and having a child in the mix sets us up for failure. That's just what people think. We know we're beating all odds. We have been. Micah taking 15 hours of school a semester and everything for football with a child and wife is out of the ordinary. Us moving two and a half hours away from our home town to start our family isn't something you see teen married couples do. I knew moving down to Texas with Micah for school was the best option for our family. We just want what's best for us and our son.
Our marriage is far from perfect but it's my kind of perfect.
Have a wonderful day!
