All these people that say the first year of marriage is the hardest are doing it wrong. In 3 weeks I'll have been married for a year, and it was a piece of cake.
If you're fighting constantly the first year, here's a clue: YOU WEREN'T READY TO GET MARRIED. I am so sick of 19 year olds consoling other 19 year olds that marriage gets easier eventually. No, it won't. If there are issues to begin with, they don't just magically go away. You just get old and accept your crappy life.
Personally, I think we should tax the crap out of marriage and divorce. It should be like $1000 to get a marriage license and twice that to apply for divorce. That way, maybe some of these young ones will think twice before fleeing to the aisle in the hopes it fixes their terrible on/off relationship. It won't. It will just lead to infidelity. Maybe if it was expensive to get married people would think twice about it.
I'm just so glad I am actually happily married. We have our spats, and at times we have our nasty fights, but we always always work things out, and I haven't been stressed out about my relationship once since we got married. Granted, being apart sometimes sucks cuz I get so effing bored and overwhelmed, but at least I don't have to worry about us. It's very nice to have all my problems in life instantly halved, because there is someone else to help me deal with them.
In other news, I have a ticket to go to Tucson to visit Adam the first week of Feb which will conveniently be our anniversary. The downside is I have to work 6 flipping nights in a row, in order to get the following week off. Time to download more movies to my ipod...
