Marriage Evolution: When the Honeymoon Phase is Over

Marriage Evolution: When the Honeymoon Phase is Over

Love Actually

Do you know what I wish someone would have told me about marriage? I wish they would have said that marriage is not just a journey, but rather, it is an evolution. It is an evolution of individuality and oneness all at the same time. It is all so fun when you first meet and fall in love. Life seems boundless with possibilities, and time seems like an eternity of bliss. Everything is so blissful on your "love cloud." And even though you know (because "they" tell you) that it won't last forever, you don't believe them. Blinded by love and enraptured with a palpable passion, life is filled with an emotion that you won't believe can't last forever.

I am not sure how one measures success in terms of a wedding, but if success means you wouldn’t go back and change a thing, then our wedding was a total success. As The Hubs likes to put it, all of our hard work really paid off. I think planning a wedding is a test of the union that is to become. Along the way there are expectations that have to be discussed, compromises to be made, trust to be given, and an element of surrender released with the hope that everything will happen the way it’s supposed to.
