We found this article on proverbs31.org with great advice for new brides. Words to live by, if you know what I mean.

While looking at a photo of her and her new husband driving away in their get-away car, she first noticed her big hair and then-skinny waistline. Next she thought over all that she wished she could have told herself if only she could go back in time and whisper thoughts in her newly-married ears.

So, what advice does this wife, author, and mother of five have to offer to her younger self (and us, too) on her wedding day? Let's “listen in” and find out!

“Sweetheart, there is only one day where marriage naturally looks like the storybooks. It’s this day. This day, your wedding day, is where every hour has been arranged and planned to be beautiful and special. And as you wave goodbye to this one day, realize what happens from here is all about choices.

“Choose to understand that love isn’t always a feeling. Many days love will be a choice. It’s a choice to press through and learn to enjoy the fragile blend of both the bliss and disappointments of two people learning to become a family.

“Being married is amazing. Being married is incredibly difficult. Being married can seem impossibly hard. Being married can seem incredibly beautiful. There is no other person who can frustrate me the way my husband can. There is no other person who can make me feel as loved as my husband can.”

To read more great advice, go to proverbs31.org. It's worth it!

What advice would you give yourself if you could take a DeLorean back in time to your just-married self? (That's a Back to the Future reference for all you born after the '80s!)
