So the wedding is 99% planned and ready to go- vows written, center pieces assembled and the gown is being steamed this weekend, but wait- that is all for the "party"- now it time to prepare for MARRIAGE.
Isn't that what this is all about anyway?
I come from a long line of successful marriages- and did I mention "religious family", so every single relative; aunt/ grandma and mom has shared their own advice on how to have a long lasting happy marriage.
Honestly- the articles, scripture and "Oprah books" are a bit overwhelming. Half of them talk about what do when your spouse hits a mid life crisis, money runs dry and or the kids are acting up. I understand the importance of being a team, having an open/honest relationship and loving one another- but is there anything I should be preparing for, anything that will change right after we say "I do".
Well, I'm stuck- we kind of already live like a married couple
1) We live together- we have been since May 07.
2) We share just about everything- a checking account, a bed, a car.
3) We take of each other when we are sick
4) Celebrate occasions together, birthdays, Christmas...etc.
you get the idea..
Besides a name change- and a fabulous honeymoon is there any other life alternating change I should be prepared for in those first couple of months as newlyweds!?
