064. 6 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Got Married

Hey Sis!

So, my husband and I just celebrated 6 years of marriage in November. Things aren’t perfect, but we’re in a much better place now than where we were at the beginning of our marriage. Partly because of the things I had to learn as a new wife.

There was a point in my single season that I was so desperate to be married. I placed that desire above the desire for anything else. But can I say it was a selfish desire back then. The reasons I wanted to get married were not good enough to make a marriage last. So as you can imagine, I had a lot of lessons to learn.

You may be in that place of having a very strong desire to be married, but marriage is not for the faint at heart. I’m not, by any means, trying to discourage you from desiring marriage. Instead, I’m sharing just a few things I wish I knew before I got married. Maybe it will give you some wisdom to consider and decide if you need to work on any of these things in your single season. 

So get ready to do a little examination of your own behaviors and desires on today. You may want to journal through some of these things or bring them to God in prayer if you know you struggle with any of these things. You may even realize you have things to work on that I didn’t mention. Let’s do this, Sis!

And if you would like to give me an anniversary gift 😉, leave me a 5-star written review on Apple Podcast. That’s the best gift you can give me to say thank you, and I would really appreciate it! Plus it helps other women just like you find the show and glean all the wisdom you have already received.
