People always ask me "why did you get married so young Angie?" or "why don't you just wait instead?"
I got married because I knew I had found the one. The one I didn't have to act like someone else around but could act like Angela. He never once tried to change me nor complained about who I was. The one that is my lover but also my best friend. I can pour my soul out to him and he will never judge me, but instead will support me and my goals/dreams. He pushes me to become better. He is my motivation to strive to become the greatest! We clicked instantly. He was the male version of me honestly (ask anyone!). Whenever you find the one, you will know deep in your heart (it's this warm sensation full of love and butterflies!). I decided to get married at only 21 (too young apparently)! It was honestly the best decision I had ever made for myself. After we got married we moved into our first house together 4 months later! It was like I was living with my best friend. There is never a dull moment within our marriage ever. He is my peanut butter to my jelly lol.
We have been through so damn much together that you wouldn't believe it. That's for another blog post though... fasten your seat belts for those...
Never let anyone tell you to wait to get married. If you ask them wait for what? They can never respond to you or if they do respond it has nothing to do with you two on why you should wait. My father actually pushed our date back lol. We were initially supposed to get married January 4th, 2018. Instead we got married the next day. My dad attended regardless and plus my husband and I both wanted him there since he's such a huge part of our lives.
The first year of marriage is the HARDEST. Whoever came up with that statement is so correct. The first year you guys are trying to get accustomed to one another and especially living with one another. It wasn't too bad for us though, it honestly made us stronger. Yes, expect arguments, disagreements, and sometimes putting your husband on the couch whenever you guys are really mad at each other LOL. I wouldn't change our marriage for nothing and we are still going strong like the day we got married in Houston Texas in front of that Judge with family by our side!
If you believe you found "your" one then get married, but make sure you know what it truly means to be a wife and husband along with keeping your vows you made to one another. Trust, communication, understanding, forgiveness and GOD is huge within a marriage. Make sure you have all three before you proceed, because if not it will be very challenging for the both of you. I'm not saying it won't work but it will be very challenging and difficult for you both to have a successful marriage.
Marriage isn't easy. Marriage isn't just "a piece of paper" either. It's a promise that you both made to one another. I love being a wife despite the challenges that present themselves within our marriage. I wouldn't change it. I found who I want to be to go through the hardships with, have you? If so what makes your significant other the one?
