Life as a Wife

So lately Ive been spending a lot of time (quality time) with my husband and I've really started to realize how much I love my life, more specifically, my life as Kyle's wife.

Before you're married the first question anyone asks you when the see you is "how is your wedding planning going?" And believe me with a 2 year engagement, I was TIRED of that question and wanted to chop the next person's head off who asked me that. But not even 24 hours after the wedding the questions switched to "How's married life treating you?"

That soon into married life I didnt really have much to say, besides thank god all of the planning is over. But lately I have actually came up with an answer.

Recently a complete stranger asked us "Hows married life?" We both kind of responded at the same time, "Good." The man stopped and looked at both of us and said, " Well if you want to be saying that 30 years from now, here's one piece of advice," he looked at Kyle and said,"Never stop dating her, she's the love of your life and you should date her as long as you can." I thought that was really sweet for him to say, especially being a complete and total stranger.

Kyle and I decided to take his advice, and have been going on little dates and devoting special time to eachother, and acting like we did when we started dating. And remarkably enough we have never been closer. We have always had a pretty tight bond, but we both were scared of getting into that settling down phase where our relationship would get blah. We now go on little dates now and then, make dinner togethor almost every night of the week, have long talks about life, not just work at the dinner table, and we have recently started devoting Sunday's to eachother. With us both working 40+ hour weeks, we dont have much time to spend doing everything togethor, so a few Sunday's back, Kyle suggested we make Sunday's "Our day" no matter what we do that day, whether its cleaning the house, going out, or bailing hay we do it togethor and it's our special day. I have loved this special time togethor, and find myself looking foward to Sunday's lately.

So now when someone asks, "How's married life?" I can have a legit answer, "It's wonderful, we date eachother more now than ever and are so happy!"

I love my life, as Kyle's wife.
