the newlywed series

I’ve had a lot of friends get married in the past two years since Trent and I got married June 5^th, 2010. I always try to think of what special moment, memory or lesson I can pass along to encourage my newly married or soon-to-be-married friends. Marriage is good. I’ve always believed that. It’s why I pursued a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. I believe in marriage between a man and a woman and the life of love it can bring.

I am definitely not making the assumption we all will go through the same things. We’re all in different stages and places in life. We all have our own trials and struggles to go through. But I hope to share some funny and encouraging insight into our lives as newlyweds. It’s not been perfect, but I am absolutely convinced every bump in the road, every good and bad date and every crazy fun adventure has increased our strength, happiness and faith.

I’ve listened to others, read their stories and been encouraged by them. I want to do the same.  I want to share our experience and hopefully grow from it along the way too. And please – if you’ve been there share your stories in the comments!  Enjoy the next few posts!      

PS. My computer was recently stepped on and my camera still rests unfixed. Thus my visual additions will be limited.
