Ask a Question
Once You’re Husband and Wife Adjustments and Pleasant Surprises As strange as it may sound, you might experience moments of homesickness because of leaving everything familiar to you. Kenneth shares how he tried to help Abbie when she went through these emotions in the first months after their wedding. Because you’ve never lived with one another before, there will be a huge learning curve when it comes to your daily routines and habits. Some will drive you crazy, and some you’ll learn to adapt to. Listen to how Darnelh and Kim maneuvered their way around this issue when they were trying to figure out the distribution of chores. One other thing you’ll have to adjust to are expectations from your families and how to balance your time with them. If you’re open and upfront (but still respectful of course!) with both sets of parents, you’ll be certain to find some sort of schedule or compromise that works for everyone. After all, you’re really one big family now! One thing our newlyweds have shared with us, that they are pleasantly surprised by, is they enjoy the mundane tasks they do together; from grocery shopping, to cooking, to running errands, to doing household chores. Try doing some of these daily tasks together, maybe grocery shopping and then cooking a meal, even now as an engaged couple. You’ll be able to see and become accustomed to each others’ little quirks and preferences. Maybe this simple way of spending time with each other is something you and your future spouse will cherish too. Preparing for Marriage God’s Way Enjoy the journey, both to the wedding day and well into married life. God gave you your person (as Darlene said in “Marriage Benefits - We Don’t Just Date For Fun”). So, soak up all the happy, sad, challenging, exciting, worrisome, thrilling, and blessed moments with your spouse. Follow the example of our Happy Life couples, and put God and His words at the center of your marriage. Then everything else will fall into place, according to God’s plans.
