MaRrIaGe Is A bLiSs

Over the past year I have had such an amazing time being married. I simply wanted to take the time to note all of the things I love about marriage. If you are not married, I think most of these still apply. These are in NO particular order…and feel free to add to my list if you have any good ones. I would love to hear your thoughts.

  • Companionship
  • Love
  • Laughter
  • Passion
  • Connection
  • Shared adventure(s)
  • Friendship
  • Watching a movie/show together under a blanket
  • Deep conversations
  • Simple conversations
  • Hearing him say “I love you”
  • Knowing the little quirks of another human being
  • Day dreaming about co-parenting our children
  • Being authentic
  • All the inside jokes between us
  • Memories of past experiences together
