I have found the transition to being married easy and fun. People warned me that it would be hard and that I would dislike my husband sometimes. I heard that I it would require a lot of work and time to get the whole living together thing down.
That is what I heard.
The fact is that hasn't been true, mostly. I still adore my husband. I haven't had a problem adjusting to living with him. I knew what I was getting into before I married him. His alarm goes off at a horrible hour and he comes home exhausted. Other than that we have fallen into a very easy routine. We have divided house work up so that we both do what we can and no one complains. I make dinner, do the shopping, laundry and keep the house picked up. He does dishes, takes out trash and the floors.
We kiss each other hello and goodbye. We say prayers together morning and night. We read our scriptures every day. We discuss life choices before bed and giggle with each other regularly.
We go out once a week, even if it is just for free pie night.
I rub his hands and back after work and he rubs my feet while I chatter about this or that.
We watch The Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice while enjoying some smoothies.
He makes sure I have gas in my car and washes it and I make sure he has toothpaste.
It has been easy for us. I like to think the years of roommates helped make the process easier for me. I also like to think that we knew what we were getting into before we married each other and have realistic expectations.
I like that this was one more of those things that people warned me about that I had no need to worry about.
