Four years ago today Adam and I tied the knot. It still feels like just last year! We had a great wedding day. A lovely day, kind of chilly, but still lovely.
And we've had an even better four years of marriage.
I think we'll make it a few more years together. As long as we don't have to build another house...
TRUE STORY:
Before we built the house...
Other people: "If your marriage can make it through building a house together, it can get through anything!"
Us: "Yep, ok, haha."
After we built the house...
Us: "If your marriage can make it through building a house together, it can get through anything!"
So here is my two cents to those couples who are considering building home together.... since why wouldn't you listen to a marriage expert like me?
If you are taking on a big project like building a house for example. You won't always agree on everything. In fact, you might not agree on much.
Building a home is a huge deal, especially if you are acting as your own general contractor like we did!
You will lose sleep together, worrying about bills and bids. You will fight with each other, probably slam a door here or there, you might even flip each other off behind each backs one time...(guilty.)
But you'll get over it. You will compromise. You will get the job done. You will be able to sit down with a cold beverage (preferably with booze in it) and finally be able to enjoy your hard work.
And it will all be worth it.
We are celebrating our anniversary by doing just that. Relaxing together at home!
