10 best things about being married

Just for the fun of it, I looked this up on bing and google and all that came up was 10 best things about being single. LAME! So, I am going to create 10 best things about being married!!! Andrew and I have been married for 8 months and are still childless; should we have children, I think this list would be endless. At any rate, these are the best things about being married... if I am missing some stuff, just say it!!!

1. Knowing your family is eternal
 Yes! I know that someday my Andrew and our children will be together forever. It is such a relieving peaceful feeling knowing that not everything is lost when you die. Have you ever felt really close to a friend and wished that you can be friends always no matter what? yes, marriage is being best friends with your spouse and yes, there is a way to be best friends forever together :)




2. Not feeling embarrassed if you know nothing about a subject.
If your spouse is a pro in topic and you know nothing about it, there is no need to freak out or impress him. You can just ask more about the subject. He/she won't think you are dumb or stupid, he still loves you :)




3. Waking up to your best friend
Saying goodbye to your significant other hurts, LITERALLY! That goodbye kiss and hug every night is a horrible experience. Sometimes to fix it you spend more hours together until it gets really late, but no one escapes from that goodbye! Even if it is at midnight or at 3 am in the morning, you still have to say goodbye.





4.Your eating habits become healthier!
Back when you were single you didn't care as much if you had 1 meal a day or if you skipped lunch. Now you are someone to take care of and that someone also takes care of you. You stop eating junk and care for the health of that special someone... your husband/wife!!!




5. Do I have something in m y teeth? 
This is one of my favorites. At events with friends, dinner with colleagues and such... sometimes there is no excuse to go to the bathroom to floss! At least in my own experience, every time I am done eating I code Andrew to take a look at my teeth and he codes me too. We let each other know if anything! If you don't have anything in your teeth, you saved yourself a trip to the bathroom or licking your teeth or using a toothpick. There is no need to feel embarrassed whatsoever! I don't know how I survived going on dates not knowing what the heck was going on with my teeth especially when I had braces, yikes!

6.You are not alone
EXACTLY, this is one of my favorites. At parties, you aren't that lonely girl on the corner pretending to be texting someone because nobody wants to dance with you or because you just don't feel like dancing. When you are married your husband is there and you have fun with your friends. If you don't wanna dance anymore, then  you stop but instead of being on that corner by yourself, you are with him. Even if your husband can't attend an event, then people know that you are married and even if you are really texting someone (your husband), they know that you aren't alone.


7. NO MORE DATING!!!!!!
Ugh!! Does he like me? do I like him? why did he do this? why didn't he call me? what's going on? why hasn't he asked me to be his girlfriend after he kissed me? UGHHHHHHHH!!! All uncertainty is gone when you are married. Of course that I still go on dates with my husband but dating life when single just sucks, it is definitely something less to worry in your married life :-)



8. Your self-esteem just boosts up!
Don't you just wake up sometimes and even though you get ready to start your day you think you look crappy? However, your husband thinks you are the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world. Also, even at school or at work, sometimes you think you are a failure or you just think you aren't successful enough. My husband is there for me cheering up for me, holding my back so I can keep achieving my goals, he is such a support and I love him more for that.

9. He is LITERALLY your best friend and your lover
There was one night that Andrew and I were watching a movie and I fell asleep, he carried me to to our bed and I told him, "baby, you are my best buddy." I feel like he is my best buddy and I am his. We know everything about each other, Andrew knows me and knows how am I going to act or react to something. It is incredible how a husband gets to know you so much. He can even read minds! whatever you don't wanna say, he already knows; or if you try to lie, he knows perfectly what the truth is, it is just so funny to me :-) Your husband or wife is that piece of the puzzle that was missing in your life, he/she fits exactly to you.  I wanna grow older with him, I hope Heavenly Father lets us be alive until we get really old.


10. Children
I don't have children but I have many friends who have them. They seem to just fill the husband and wife relationship with love all around. I can't wait to have children.
