Things you learn in the first 12 months of marriage...


Today marks exactly 242 days since Adam and I got married - since yesterday was Valentines day I thought I would do something different today... So here is some things I have learnt in the 8 months we have been married and some advice for things we do as a newly married couple.. 

Date Night
No matter how busy our lives are, Adam and I always try to make the time for date night - we at least try to do it once a week or fortnight depending on what we have on... sometimes this involves dates to the cinema or some other activity or some nights just snuggling up on the sofa watching a film or box sets on TV. Mine and Adams work schedules are very different. I work Monday - Friday where as he works weekends with the occasional sunday off so it is really important for us that we schedule in this time of just us! 

Babies
The minute you tie the knot everyone suddenly wants to know when the babies are going to follow.. they can't just let you enjoy the time as a couple first! Be prepared for this question. 

Don't loose the cuteness
Even now I get butterflies when I see that he has text me. He still now sends me texts in the middle of the day just to say I love you or to make me smile. Don't loose that. 

Start traditions
Its the perfect time to start things you can keep going for years <3

Share..
Adam and I have developed a thing where we share the housework... I cook and he washes up.. little things like that... it makes such a difference. Try not to become one of the couples where its very one sided because resentment can easily creep in
