Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Top 5 Things I Didn't Know Before I Got Married
First off, let me start by saying I am the wife, and I am very happily married. My husband and I have been married for about a year (which I know is not very long); however, everyday feels unique, and I fall in love more and more. That is not to say it hasn't come with its challenges like most wives would say. And I know for a fact I am not the only new wife out there discovering new and unexpected things about their husbands or themselves for that matter in such a committed relationship. I grew up in the South, where getting married is just something people do at a certain point in their life. I also haven't known many healthy relationships and haven't seen many successful marriages around me, but I had heard of them and believed in them and it never discouraged me from longing for that dreamy wedding and the idea of that handsome beau holding flowers in his hands to take me to dinner. I knew one thing and one thing only: anyone whom I have ever seen that is happy and successful are emotionally stable, live for more than just themselves and they eventually get married. I wanted to be this person. So I could tell you the short and dreamy way I met him, but I'll keep it simple. In short, we met at work (wouldn't recommend doing that however it happens), started to hang out and a few months later he proposed. We took a marriage class because, like I said before, I have never really seen a successful marriage in action...only heard of them. It was obviously very insightful with things that you kind of learn as you become an adult like communication is important, be respectful of the other's point of view, how you both are with money, how to deal with merging family, etc. So with my short time of being married to the most wonderful human being who is my husband, here are the top 5 things I didn't know before I got married.

How Opening Up About My Needs Improved My Relationship with My Husband. Created with: LELO.
I have a confession to make. It’s 2019. The sexual revolution has come and gone. We, as women, are supposed to feel comfortable talking about orgasms and sexual needs. We all know that having orgasms is a real thing, that it’s beneficial for our mental health (and physical health), and that it’s a good way to encourage bonding.

Diary of a Working Housewife
Sunday September 29th, 2019 12 PM: Why do women end relationships? A simple answer sums it all up... because they were unhappy. Being a woman myself, I can assure you that the last thing we want to do is start over! We will fight for a relationship/marriage for as long as our sanity allows us. But sometimes there are many reason this fight is fruitless.

Loneliness
What if you didn’t have love? What would you do? Would you give up on the world and everyone in it, or would you keep looking until you found it? These are questions that Anna asked herself over and over for many years. Yes, years—not days, weeks or months. She felt like the loneliest married person alive.

How I Could Have Been on 'My 90 Day Fiancé'
I admit it: I am a huge fan of the show My 90 Day Fiancé, and so is my husband. Every Sunday and Monday nights, we are hooked on this show. The rest of the week, we like to mimic and make fun of the cast couples. It entertains us so much that we even watch the reruns on Fridays.

We cast off, delighted to be moving. She spreads the navigation chart out in front of them and begins plotting a course for Fulfilment. He opens his copy of Yachting Monthly. She points at their shiny new copy of Sailing for Dummies. "I'll take a look in a moment," he says, biting into a sandwich.
