Sorry for not posting this yesterday, I started it and then the day got crazy and the night busy...so here it is today =)
Expectations on your relationship
Throw them out the window. They only set you up for failure and disappointment. For example, before we got married I had this awesome idea of what marriage would be like. {Imagine, laughing and happiness and fun all the time} My idea came to a screeching halt once we left the altar ;) But in my defense, before you get married you never really know what marriage is about. What you do know you learn from your parents, or from the movies. In my case, both of said examples were extreme to say the least, and neither a good model of a normal marriage. And you only really get to see marriage at surface level (especially on tv). The reality is that marriage is very hard! that's not saying that it's not worth it, but we had to get rid of our expectations in order to become a thriving couple. Marriage comes with fighting {gasp!} occasional unhappiness, and other things that you would never put into your ideal perfect relationship. Get over it. Move on. And work hard at it. Once we stopped expecting ourselves to be "perfect" we got through some bumps with not too many bruises and found our groove as a couple.
Let go of expectations & be yourself!
