Yesterday was our 6 month wedding anniversary. I know everyone says this, but gosh it goes by SO FAST! Sometimes it still feels like we just got married yesterday. Marriage is everything that I ever thought it would be and nothing that I thought it would be. Does that even make sense??
Marriage is not perfect. It is completely imperfect...which is what is SO perfect about it. We laugh together, we cry together, we get mad at each other, and I pout...a lot. Marriage is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do, yet the thing that comes the easiest to me. I have never been happier in my life and I love my husband more today than I did on October 2, 2010. It's amazing how loves grows and deepens.
We had an absolutely amazing weekend...we were both lucky to be off all weekend together! I'll share about our weekend later. It was full of shopping, snuggles, and delicious food. What could be better??
I'd love to know y'alls best marriage advice. Whether you are married, engaged, dating, or single, we have ALL thought/dreamed about marriage. Share with me!
My advice:
- Your spouse HAS to come first. At all times. End of story.
Hope y'all had a great weekend!
Love, love!!

Happy 6 months! Marriage is beautiful, isn't it! My advice is lots of snuggling and not to take yourself too seriously :)
Happy 6 month to you both!! Yall are too cute!
congratulations love!
I think it is important to always be honest no matter how painful it might be. My ex and I could have avoided a lot of unnecessary arguments if we'd been more honest in the first place.
(me giving dating advice is pretty comical I must say)

From someone who has been married almost 7 years, I agree 100% with your advice? Your spouse most definitely has to come first. Even when you have kids. Which is when most people forget that :)
ha oops I mean to put a (!) on the first sentence.
Congratulations on 6 months!! Y'all are adorable!
Congrats, Sweetie! You and your hubs seem really happy! :)
Happy 6 Month Anniversary!!
Congrats!
Happy Anniversary!!! We just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Friday!!! Time flies by so freakin fast!! lol
it really is the best isn't it and yes, it does fly by!! I think we all learn so much about ourselves in the union of marriage. We learn to give more, take less, compromise, forgive and love endlessly. It's all good stuff!!
Congratulations on 6 months! It really does fly by - I can't believe we'll be celebrating our 1 year anniversary in 2 months!
My advice is to make your marriage your priority. And to commit to loving your spouse when it's easy and when it's... not so easy. :)
awww happy 6 month anniversary xx
Happy 6 month anniversary!!
As far as advice... I guess I would have to say: disagree. On something. Anything. If you're both agreeing on everything all the time then someone isn't being honest (even if it's something silly).
Beautiful! Love this post! My best advice is something we learned in a marriage retreat we had to go on as part of our marriage prep and it's called the 60 second reconnection. Basically after a long day at work or even during a fight.. you stop yourselves and you hug for 60 seconds. It lasts a lot longer than you think and it allows you to relax and reconnect with your spouse. It helps us a lot- especially when things get really busy and we don't see each other all day long. It's a little hard to do when we're fighting but we force ourselves and the anger does fade away and we can calm down a bit. *shrugs* Try it- you might like it :)
Love and Hugs,
Erin
Congrats on 6 months! Trust me it goes by SO quick, I can't believe we're approaching our four year anniversary seems like yesterday we got married too but the excitment and fun is what keepsa marriage going strong :-)

Congrats on 6 months. You guys are so precious!! :)

Sweet post :) Marriage really is the best! Each anniversary just flies by to me too!
Yay marriage! Congrats. :) Here's my advice: pray together, hug often, say I love you everyday and celebrate the small stuff!
YAY! You guys are such a sweet couple! Happy 6 months!!! <3
Happy 6 months! :)
Congrats lady! Time does fly, doesn't it? My best marriage advice would be to laugh together. and do it often!
congrats! happy six months! so exciting!
Happy 6 month Anniversary:) Jason and I have our 6 month anniversary this Saturday! October was a good month! Our guest book had hand written notes in it full of advice. The most popular was never go to bed mad. My personal favorite however was- She is always right;) hahaha.
Yay! It does go so quickly... enjoy every moment of it. Love how you described being married. I've felt the same way about it, because it is so perfectly imperfect. (:
I agree that you have to love your spouse so much and put them first. Even though this is what many people say I still love it... don't go to bed mad at each other. When we have an argument we always make sure to make up and forgive and move on. Happy 6 months!!
happy anniversary!! my marraige advice is never go to bed angry, and tell each other you love them every day! :)
Happy 6th month anniversary!!!
happy 6th month!!! :)
i totally agree with you about making your spouse #1 no matter what!!
my advice: #1 keep the passion alive. wear lingerie often (even if you dont like it, he does). #2 never go to bed mad at each other. #3 make sure their is girl time/boy time. it is always important to still have a life outside of one another.
im also a pouter...sometimes it works, sometimes it just annoys the crap out of my guy haha
but congrats that is so amazing!!! :) So happy for you pretty lady!
cant wait to hear about your weekend...hope it involved lots of romancing..ahem ahem ;) heheh
xoxoxo
congratulations!!!! so exciting. i'm not married, but i totally agree with your advice.
and my mom always told me growing up to never let the last thing you say to someone be angry or hurtful, because you never know if you will see them again or what could happen. i think that works for friends and spouses. :)
Congrats on 6 months! You're right it goes SO SO FAST! I can't believe our 2 year will be this September!!!
I 100% agree with your marriage advice!
xo! Lauren @ tickled.
Congrats girl! The time totally does fly by :)
My best marriage advice is to make your spouse feel appreciated every day.
Yay, Megan! So happy for you. I love hearing joy like this from married couples. It makes me excited to get married one day! This picture is amazing. Just like you (:
Happy 6 Months!
My marriage advice would be to let go of what you think marriage SHOULD be. Every marriage is different!
LOVE Mrs. Bee's suggestion!!
Congratulations on 6 months!
The best piece of advice I received before getting married was to always make sure you don't depend on your husband to be your source of joy and fulfillment; that spot can only be filled by the Lord. Husbands aren't capable (nor are wives) of filling that void.
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to celebrate my six month anniversary! Be looking out for a post on my blog on April 8th, 2012 for my six month anniversary shout out! :)
congrats on your 6 months! Ours was last month and I couldn't believe it. My family and I still talk about the wedding like it was yesterday, so many fun memories to relive!
Happy 6th Month Anniversary! How fun and exciting! I love being married especially because I'm to my high school sweetheart and best friend! We will be celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary this year! But we have been together off and on since 1994! WOW! Crazy huh?!? I love your marriage advice; always put your spouse first! AWESOME!! I love it! Have a FABULOUS week! XOXO!
Good advice! =) I've noticed it's key as well! paul is the first person i've ever put before myself! ever. I make time for myself -- always but when P is around, he knows he is the love of my life =)
happy sunday twinnie! <3
xoXOxo
Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
wow, congratulations sweetheart! what an exciting season of life that you are in! Totally agree with you about your hubby being a top priority. Keep Jesus Christ as your first and formost, before all things. He loves you so much more than any earthly being could! But I know that your hubby loves you a whole lot as well! I pray that your marriage would continue to be as blessed as it has been. You two seem like such a sweet sweet couple! :)
Congrats! Generic, but, hey...it's what we say.
Turn around again and it'll be 12...as in 12 years. Yep! That's what I'm goin' on. YIKES!
Ummm...I was 12 when I got married. (Almost. Not quite. Uh, no.)
Sophisticated Steps
Congratulations!!
And I love the new blog layout!
:)
LOVED this! And yay for 6mos. B and I just hit 4 months today!! :) I'm all about your spouse being first in your life, and as long as you both keep your eyes focused on God, there's nothing you can't handle!
xoxo
Happy 6 months! how exciting :D
Our anniversaries are on the same day! :) So cool!
Congrats on 6 months of wedded bliss! :)
It may seem obvious but the one rule I enforce more than any in our home is to never go to bed angry!! EVER! Even over the smallest things, there has to be forgiveness and kisses before we go to bed! :)
Congrats on 6months! Doesn't it go by so fast?
One thing that helps our marriage is doing things that the other person likes.
Happy 6 month anniversary! :)
Happy 6 Months:-) So exciting! Marriage is the best. Simply the best! Hard work, but so worth it. xoxo
happy six months pretty lady! hope you guys enjoyed your weekend together!
Awwww!!!!! Love this!!!! 6 months already???? That is crazyyyy!!! Good thing that my corn syrup is still good another 2 and a half years!! Haha!! And love your marriage advice!! It's so true... Even after the kids come along, hubby should still come first. I love Ephesians 5:28 too... "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." Isn't that so good?? If we're loving Jesus and our spouse more than we love ourselves, what a sweet and precious marriage that will be!! Isn't it funny how God's advice is always the BEST advice?? And it works every time!! :) Hope you guys had a great 6 month anniversary!! :) I love my Mackey's!!
Congrats on your 6 months love and you have the right idea - your hubby comes first! :) You both are a beautiful couple.
So sweet, Megan! And I love the advice, its perfect! Congratulations!
Lovely post. Such a beautiful picture. And great advice.
Hubs and I just had our 6 month anniversary last week! We can never get over how fast time flies!!
Your end statement is so true...your spouse always needs to come first. :)
Congrats!
<3
aj
Congratulations! Great advice! Mine would be do what works for you both in your marriage don't try to make yours into someone else's!
I agree with that advice 100%. Especially when it comes to mother in laws...haha! My advice, is to keep dating forever. Plan little things like taking your lap top to the park and watching a movie with a picnic. I'm a big believer in dating and spending time together talking not just about the laundry, bills, school, work, whatever. :)
I love being married!!! so true - they must come first!
happy monthaversary Megan (:
Happy 6 months!!! What a blessing :) xoxo
