Can't do that!

Contrary to popular belief, having a Godly, loving, positive husband whom I married at a young age drives me to do better, not cause my life to go into some instant chaos, interrupting my previously lived single life. We prepared ourselves. We got premarital counseling. We read/are reading books together. We got advice. We prayed for guidance. We prepared for marriage as best we could and realistically altered our expectations. It's sad that so many people assumed the first 3 months of marriage would be awful, to lighten their actual words. If you go into something thinking you will fail...you will. Can't do that!

Food for thought.

Truth is, these first three months have been a lot easier than people told us they would be considering we were both full-time students with part time jobs and to some, even the fact that we didn't live together before we got married would make it "awful in the beginning" (which, I thought was a horrible way to approach marriage for a number of later-to-be-discussed-reasons).

Truth be told: if you go into something thinking you will fail....you will. Eliminate the negative. Work and pray hard for the positive. 

We only have 3 months under our belts, yes, but every tool we've used to overcome the hurdles we've already faced won't change over time. The problems just might be bigger.
