One of our first dates
This boy means the world to me. I do not know what I would do without him. Even though I have only been married for a little over three months, I have learned a lot about relationships. Believe it or not I am not perfect, and Kody has shown so much patience with me. I have learned the true meaning of love through the experiences of the last couple months. Our relationship has grown so much in a short amount of time. Here are some tips that I have grown to learn since being married.
1- It is okay to go to bed upset.
I have learned that sometimes it is okay to go to bed upset. It seems that in the morning the things that seemed so big the night before do not really matter. We sometimes wonder why we were even upset in the first place. I have always thought that a couple should never go to bed mad at each other. In my marriage I have learned the opposite.
2- Make the other person feel special
Kody and I are very different in the ways we show love and appreciation. Kody tells me everyday that I am beautiful and he loves me. He is a verbal communicator in his expression of love. He also shows he loves me though spending time with me. I however enjoy physical touch. I love being cuddled and hugged. Kody is not the biggest cuddle bug. We have had to learn how the other person expresses their love and recognize it.
3- Let go of control
This is one of the biggest lessons I have had to learn. I am the type of person that likes to be orderly and have control in certain situations. I am just going to say it... I am VERY strong headed and I enjoy being right. Kody is almost the same way. He however, is a lot more patient than I am. I have learned that it is okay to let go of control in situations. I do not always have to be right.
4- Be your spouses biggest cheerleader
I think this is one of the reasons why Kody and I are so happy together. He believes that I am the absolute best at everything I do. I also believe that Kody is the best at everything he ever tries. He is the best sales person, snowboarder, hunter, handy man, extreme sports person that has ever lived! I truly think that it is important to have your significant other know that you think they are the best thing next to sliced bread. :)
5- Have the lord be the third member of your relationship
I would say this is the most important thing when it comes to having a happy relationship. I have learned that if we have the Lord as a significant part in our relationship we be happy together. This includes praying together at night, reading our scriptures together, and attending church every Sunday. One thing that I love about Kody is his spirit. Before I met Kody, I was heading down a path that could have destroyed me. He saved me. I couldn't be more grateful that he did.
There they are! Five things that I have learned in the past three months of marriage. These last few months have been the happiest of my life. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love Kody. He makes me weak in the knees every time he kisses me. I am truly blessed to have him as my husband.
