I feel like I want to write but i don't know how to place into words the changes that are taking place right now.
It isn't bad...I mean, come on, how bad is it to be newly married? Not very bad at all...it's still exciting and adventurous yet it is extremely humbling.
Everyday I wake up next to someone that I am accountable to. How i treat him, is going to have an effect on his morning, his day, his evening, his week. The things that i do or don't do effect him physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I have this huge responsiblity to this other person who has placed his heart into my hands and I can either cherish that or crush it.
Is their such a thing as a Newlywed funk?
We are both in this funk where are emotions and everything else are just off the wall. We are glad to have each other and yet as individuals we can't figure out what do with ourselves...Everything is great and yet average at the same time (is that even possible?)
We're struggling to find that balance that is needs to be so deliberately placed....and I keep having to remind myself...."Sara, your still new at this...it hasn't even been a month...you're still new at being a wife and he is still new at being a husband...."
So we're figuring stuff out, we're still learning about each other, and I'm still learning the art of humility, and the acts of speaking someone else's love language.
Newlyweds need prayers too...because all though things are good the changes can still be hard.

no one ever said it would be a breeze :P
you'll do fine...it does definitely take getting used to...because, like you said, all your decisions effect someone else now.
the biggest thing that helped me to do well as a wife is to give 100% of myself. we tend to think we should each give 50%...but trust me, that won't work. lay yourself down for your husband, kiddo, you'll be amazed how much he'll sacrafice for you.
