While I am not married, I can certainly agree that a wedding lasts for 1 day and marriage lasts for a lifetime. So many people get caught up in the wedding planning they forget. Here’s a great quote on the first year of marriage and a link to some tips on making your first year of marriage easier.
“With the divorce statistics getting worse every year, there’s no doubt America is in a marriage crisis. But it doesn’t have to be. Marriages, like anything else, take hard work and dedication. You only get out of it what you put into it. And believe me when I say, that first year can lay a foundation for a healthy marriage or a partnership that needs some TLC.”
10 Tips to Make your First Year of Marriage Easier – Dumb Little Man
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I don’t remember who said this but it has stayed with me all this time: A lot of people go to great details when planning their wedding, but they never sit down to plan their marriage. I always keep that in mind.
Gloria,
I love that. I tried to look it up on Google to see if I could find the exact quote and who wrote it but I had no luck. I completely agree though. A wedding lasts for 1 day, your marriage lasts for a lifetime.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding! That’s great advice. I think it’s very important for people our age to learn these things from others who have a lot more years of experience.
hey congrats! i don’t think there is any question that you won’t put enough into it in that first year :) best wishes x
